After finally winning The Masters and completing the career grand slam, Rory McIlroy is feeling confident and free from the pressure that has been on him for the past 11 years. With this major victory under his belt, he is now looking forward to the remaining three majors of the 2025 season. McIlroy’s success at Augusta National has opened up possibilities for him to potentially win all four majors in a single year, a feat that has never been accomplished in the history of the Masters. He has already notched three victories in 2025, with wins at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, TPC Sawgrass, and now The Masters.
McIlroy’s next major challenge will be the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, a course where he has had significant success in the past. With four wins at Quail Hollow, McIlroy is comfortable and confident in his ability to perform well at this major tournament. However, the U.S. Open at Oakmont poses a tougher challenge for McIlroy, as he missed the cut the last time the tournament was held there in 2016. Yet, with back-to-back second-place finishes in this major in recent years, he may be poised to break through and claim his second U.S. Open title.
The Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland presents a unique opportunity for McIlroy to redeem himself in his home country. Despite missing the cut when his friend Shane Lowry won there in 2019, McIlroy now has a chance to win his second Claret Jug and solidify his place among golfing legends. With his recent success and newfound confidence, the world is at McIlroy’s feet as he embarks on the remainder of the 2025 season. It will be exciting to see how he continues to perform and whether he can achieve the remarkable feat of winning all four majors in a single year.
McIlroy’s recent victory at The Masters has propelled him into a league of golfing legends who have come close to achieving the grand slam but have fallen short. With his success at Augusta National, McIlroy has set the stage for potentially making history as the first player to win all four majors in a single year. His confidence and performance in the 2025 season so far have showcased his ability to compete at the highest level and contend for major championships. The remaining three majors of the year will test McIlroy’s skills and mental fortitude as he pursues this monumental feat.
As McIlroy looks ahead to the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship, he is focused and determined to continue his winning streak and solidify his place among golf’s elite. With victories at some of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour already in 2025, McIlroy has proven that he has the talent and drive to succeed on the biggest stages in golf. The golfing world will be watching closely to see if McIlroy can complete the grand slam and etch his name in the history books alongside the greatest players to have ever played the game.
