AKRON, Ohio Rory McIlroy revealed that his nine-year relationship with caddie J.P. Fitzgerald ended in a phone call last Tuesday.McIlroy was coming off a T-4 finish at The Open, where he spoke of Fitzgeralds pivotal role in turning his tournament around. But given time to reflect and with an important stretch of events upcoming, McIlroy decided it was time for a fresh perspective on the bag.Rather than point to a single incident as the root cause, McIlroy explained Wednesday at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational that the dynamic between him and Fitzgerald had slowly deteriorated.It wasnt an easy decision, but at the end of the day I felt like it was a change that I needed to make, McIlroy said. I got to the point where if I didnt play a good shot or if I made a wrong decision, I was getting more frustrated at him than I was at myself. I would much rather be angry at myself for making a wrong decision than being angry at him, and that was really why.

McIlroy explained that his relationship with Fitgerald had as many ups and downs as any other duo on Tour, but that there had been probably just a few too many of those over the past year or so. In a continuing effort to take more ownership of his game, McIlroy opted to cut ties with a man with whom he still plans to have a close bond off the course.I still consider J.P. one of my best friends, one of my closest friends, McIlroy said. But sometimes to preserve a personal relationship you might have to sacrifice a professional one, and that was sort of the decision that I came to in the end.Childhood friend Harry Diamond served as McIlroys best man in his April wedding, and McIlroy will have Diamond on the bag this week and at the PGA Championship. His long-term caddie plans remain unknown, though McIlroy didnt rule out having Diamond as the permanent replacement or even one day calling upon Fitzgerald once again.I dont know whats going to happen after these two weeks, McIlroy said. Im going to have a week off between Quail Hollow and the first FedExCup playoff event in New York at Northern Trust, so potentially if something doesnt work out, and Harry and I say, OK, two weeks was enough but I need to find somebody else, Ive got 10 days between the end of the PGA and the start of the Northern Trust to find someone.
