Last fall, six-time major championship winner Sir Nick Faldo warned Rory McIlroy about switching from Achushnet (the parent company of Titleist and FootJoy) to Nike.

As the number one player in the world at the time, he told Rors "It's a very dangerous time" in your career to switch.

After a disappointing first-half of 2013 for Rory, Nick told the current world number two this week, essentially, I told you so.

"Rory very simply messed with a winning formula," Faldo said. "He went from rookie of the year to world No. 1 and been through a lot and thought he could start again.

"As I said from Day One, I tweeted right away when it was announced that this was a dangerous move. I won't get into all the -- people said, 'Oh, he's so talented, he can adapt.' Well, why should the world No. 1 be adapting to something new? As we discovered six months later, he's busy still trying putters, still trying drivers. It's not as easy."

As the controversial Tiger Woods ad said, "Winning takes care of everything." Until Rory starts winning again, his critics will continue to critique his decisions on and off the course!
