Rory McIlroy hasn’t won a major tournament in more than a decade
Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, speaks during a news conference at the U.S. Open golf tournament on June 11, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C.The final question Rory McIlroy was asked before he headed onto Pinehurst No. 2 on Tuesday for his first practice round at this week’s U.S. Open was perhaps more befitting of a player in the twilight of his career than one ranked No. 3 in the world.His answer was the exact opposite of what one might expect: “Not particularly,” McIlroy replied.
The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland has come oh-so close so many times over the years. Yet McIlroy’s continued failure to complete the career grand slam by winning the Masters, coupled with a tie for 12th at the PGA Championship last month, have kept alive a major championship drought that has stretched a full decade.
“I mean, I want to win as many golf tournaments as I can,” said McIlroy, who teamed with Shane Lowry to win the Zurich Classic in April and captured his fourth Wells Fargo title just last month. “I want to try to compete and win as many majors as I can.
Indeed, McIlroy has no shortage of confidence as he prepares to play alongside the only two people ranked ahead of him in the world – Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and PGA champion Xander Schauffele – in a star-studded group Thursday and Friday.
