AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am victory was followed by a second Players Championship win before he was crowned champion at the Masters.<\/p>\n

McIlroy finally achieved his career Grand Slam by beating Justin Rose in a tense play-off at Augusta National last month.<\/p>\n

Following the PGA Championship last weekend, the US Open<\/a> in June will be the final major tournament of the year.<\/p>\n

However, McIlroy has already look ahead towards the latter stages of 2025, which is when the DP World India Championship takes place.<\/p>\n

McIlroy is a two-time PGA Championship winner but could only settle for a tied-47th finish last weekend at three over par.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old will return to the course on May 29 for the Memorial Tournament, the next signature event on the tour.<\/p>\n

He will then travel to the United States once again for the US Open in a bid to win two majors in one year for the second time ever.<\/p>\n

McIlroy last won the tournament in 2011 by finishing eight strokes in front of Jason Day for his first major title.<\/p>\n

The golfing legend has ended the last two editions in second behind Wyndham Clark and Bryson DeChambeau respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rory McIlroy will reach another career milestone later this year when he plays at the inaugural DP World…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[54853,2826,4298,4287,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-123390","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-dp-world-india-championship","9":"tag-golf","10":"tag-pga-tour","11":"tag-rory-mcilroy","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114553282245011892","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
