Following his successful title defence at The Masters, Rory McIlroy is reassessing his major goals, with new opportunities emerging for him to create golfing history. Having already completed the career Grand Slam, McIlroy's latest victory places him alongside Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only players to have successfully defended their title at The Masters. With six major wins under his belt, McIlroy is now tied with Faldo, Phil Mickelson, and Lee Trevino, and is poised to surpass Faldo as the most successful European golfer in the modern era.
As McIlroy looks to the future, potential targets include becoming a double Grand Slam champion, winning all four majors on multiple occasions, and claiming a third consecutive Masters title. With his career Grand Slam already secured, McIlroy is focused on achieving even more, stating that he still has things he wants to accomplish and is not putting a number on his major wins.
As he continues to cement his status as an all-time great, McIlroy's next major challenge awaits, with the PGA Championship, US Open, and The Open still to come this year.
