Rory McIlroy's Upcoming Schedule: What to Expect in 2026

Following a remarkable 2025 season, Rory McIlroy is poised to pursue additional major victories and records in 2026. His previous year was highlighted by a dramatic playoff win at The Masters, securing his fifth major title and first in 11 years, as well as a crucial role in Europe's Ryder Cup triumph over the United States. McIlroy's notable wins in 2025 included the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players on the PGA Tour, along with a playoff success at the Amgen Irish Open that helped him claim the DP World Tour's season-long Race to Dubai for a seventh time. McIlroy has been recognized for his outstanding performance, becoming the third golfer in history to receive the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and earning his sixth Association of Golf Writers Trophy. His achievements have solidified his position as one of the sport's all-time greats. With one major win shy of matching Sir Nick Faldo's record of six, and one Race to Dubai title short of equalling Colin Montgomerie's record of eight, McIlroy has set his sights on these targets for the upcoming season. Although he has not confirmed his full 2026 schedule, he will commence the season with consecutive events on the DP World Tour in the Middle East before defending his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title in California. While McIlroy's complete schedule remains unconfirmed, he is expected to participate in most Signature Events and make additional starts on the PGA Tour ahead of the season-ending FedExCup Playoffs. Historically, McIlroy has shifted his focus from the PGA Tour to the DP World Tour after the Tour Championship, with a title defense in Ireland and a return to the BMW PGA Championship anticipated. Confirmed events for McIlroy's 2026 schedule include the Dubai Invitational, Hero Dubai Desert Classic, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, The Players, The Masters, PGA Championship, and The 154th Open. He will also feature in the TGL, a tech-infused golf league, as part of the Boston Common Golf team, which includes Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama, and Adam Scott. McIlroy's TGL schedule includes matches against The Bay Golf Club, Atlanta Drive GC, New York Golf Club, and Jupiter Links, with the SoFi Cup semi-finals and final taking place in March. With 29 PGA Tour wins and 20 DP World Tour titles, McIlroy heads into 2026 as a formidable competitor, and his performances can be watched live on Sky Sports.
