McIlroy's Next Major Challenge: New Targets After Masters Triumph
Following his successful title defense at The Masters, Rory McIlroy has reassessed his major goals, now aiming to create more golfing history. Having completed the career Grand Slam last year, McIlroy became a back-to-back winner at The Masters with a one-shot victory over world No 1 Scottie Scheffler. This win leaves him alongside Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only players to successfully defend at The Masters. McIlroy is now looking to pursue other golfing milestones, including becoming a double Grand Slam champion. With seven top-10 finishes at the US Open, McIlroy is also targeting success at upcoming majors, including the PGA Championship and The Open. As one of the most successful European golfers, McIlroy is determined to add to his major tally and cement his status as an all-time great. With his latest victory, McIlroy has moved closer to Scheffler in the battle to be world No 1, and he is now working towards new major targets, including the possibility of winning all four majors in the same calendar year.
