McIlroy says fellow pro golfers should hit the gym

Rory McIlroy wants to bring his fellow golf pros to the gym with him.

Well, if not literally, then figuratively. And speaking of figures, McIlroy says improved physiques on the golf tour could only help grow the game among young people -- athletic-looking golfers would make more kids pick up the sport, he says.

McIlroy, 26, has added muscle, and it has done nothing to hurt his game. On Sunday, McIlroy, ranked No. 1 in the world, completed a seven-shot victory at the Wells Fargo Championship, his 11th PGA Tour title.
