Golf experts and former champions emphasize the importance of emotional control and enjoying the experience at Augusta as key factors for McIlroy's potential success. Despite concerns about his elbow, McIlroy enters the tournament with strong recent performances and a renewed perspective on gratitude. His mental preparation, guided by sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella, aims to address the complexities of past failures at the Masters.
