Following his successful title defense at The Masters, Rory McIlroy is reassessing his major goals, with new targets emerging after completing the career Grand Slam. McIlroy's latest victory has given him the opportunity to create more golfing history, and he is looking to build on his achievements. Having already become the sixth male golfer to complete the career Grand Slam, McIlroy is now aiming to join an elite group of players who have won all four majors on multiple occasions.
With a second successive Masters title under his belt, McIlroy is halfway to becoming a double Grand Slam champion, having also won the PGA Championship twice. He has had seven top-10 finishes at the US Open and has impressed at the next two Open venues, making him a strong contender for future majors. McIlroy's latest success takes him to six majors, tying him with Sir Nick Faldo, Phil Mickelson, and Lee Trevino, and one more major would see him surpass Faldo as the most successful European golfer in the modern era. With his game expected to age well, McIlroy is set for multiple more appearances in the Ryder Cup and is destined to be captain at some stage.
He is now working towards new major targets, including the PGA Championship, US Open, and The Open, and is looking to enjoy more major success this year.
