EXPLANATION:

Infinitives are used with modal verbs and can also be used with some kind of verbs that shows the perception like feel, see, etc., The widely used infinitive word is ‘to’. It can come with Gerunds(ing form of the verb) or participles (‘ing’,’ ed’ forms of the verb) and the infinitive(to+verb). Example: He can run fast can be changed to ‘He can run fast’.

He wins the game. It can be changed as ‘He loves to win the game. It is not necessary to use ‘to’ as infinitive. In the given example ‘to’ would not give the proper meaning. In those cases, we can change the verb. ‘feel’ is the verb we can use here instead of ‘to’.
