A look back at Rory McIlroy’s 2025 season

McIlroy continued his great form at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, finishing inside the top five for the fifth year in succession. He started his 2025 campaign with a T4 finish at Emirates GC. After a first appearance in the TGL League, the Northern Irishman then secured his 27th win on the PGA Tour, claiming victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am – his first win at the famous event.

Although it wasn’t to be in the first season of TGL, with Boston Common losing all five of their matches, the Northern Irishman did secure a second victory of the season at TPC Sawgrass. It was his second win at The PLAYERS Championship, and the first time he had won twice in the United States before the opening major of the season.

That was all the pre-show, though. Once again, coming into The Masters at Augusta National, the talk was about whether the Northern Irishman could secure the Career Grand Slam, on what was the 11th time of asking. He finally managed to achieve that goal, beating good friend Justin Rose in a playoff on the 18th green to put on the Green Jacket, and to become the sixth man of all time to complete the set.

McIlroy achieved four more top tens over the next couple of months, with one of those coming at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. He finished T7 there, following a runners-up finish at the Genesis Scottish Open the week prior. In his next appearance on home soil, at the AMGEN Irish Open, McIlroy won for the 20th time on the DP World Tour, getting the better of Joakim Lagergren on the third extra hole.

The Northern Irishman then played four more times on the DP World Tour through to the end of the 2025 season, finishing inside the top 20 in three of those tournaments. In the DP World Tour Playoffs, McIlroy finished in a tie for 3rd at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, before then coming home as the runner-up at the DP World Tour Championship, losing out to Matt Fitzpatrick in a playoff. He did take home the Race to Dubai title for a seventh time, moving into second on the all-time list behind only Colin Montgomerie.
