Rory McIlroy entered play Friday at the BMW Championship looking to make a move into contention. McIlroy’s opening round was suspended on 18 due to lightning as he was about to attempt his par putt.

Rory McIlroy, the only 3-time FedEx Cup winner, had one goal for the PGA Tour’s postseason: End his year on a high note. “I think when the bulk of the season has come and gone and you’ve got this opportunity of three weeks to really, I guess, flip the script a little bit or change […]

By most people’s standards, Rory McIlroy has enjoyed an enviable season on the PGA Tour. As the FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway, the no. 3-ranked player in the world has two wins (including a Signature Event), a U.S Open runner-up, and seven top-10s. Of course, Rory McIlroy is not most people. “I certainly don’t want […]

Scottie Scheffler hasn’t performed all that well in the PGA Tour’s postseason, so you can understand why he isn’t exactly attached to the three-week FedEx Cup Playoffs as a year-ending competition. Rory McIlroy, for the most part, disagrees. “I talked about it the last few years, I think it’s silly,” Scheffler said Wednesday at his […]

The PGA Tour released its 2025 season season schedule on Wednesday, the eve of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs. The slate doesn’t introduce a slew of changes, as has been the case in recent years as the PGA Tour has tried to mondernize in the face of competition from LIV Golf. Notably, the 2025 PGA […]

The men’s Olympics Golf competition wrapped up Sunday afternoon in truly epic fashion. Scottie Scheffler tied a course record at Le Golf National in France to claim the gold medal. His heroics, however, might not have landed him atop the podium had Jon Rahm not faltered so badly. Rahm, midway through his final round, held […]

Rory McIlroy was one of the many PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars — including gold-medal winner Scottie Scheffler — to praise the atmosphere and intensity of the Men’s Golf competition at Le Golf National for the Paris Olympics throughout the week.

For the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, LIV Golf star Jon Rahm would like to see his sport take a page out of the playbook that enables LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and nine other NBA all-stars to link up in Paris for Team USA. “The Olympics, you want the best players to be able […]

The men’s golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics gets underway on Thursday at Le Golf National.

You probably heard: It’s been 10 years since 26-time PGA Tour winner Rory McIlroy won his fourth major championship.

Rory McIlroy, looking to make amends after a tough championship season, is is not among them. Instead, he is […]

Thus far, the 152nd Open Championship has been quite the test. It has left players like Tyrrell Hatton to complain about the setup, Max Homa to need a lengthy putt on his final hole just to make the cut, and embarrass countless others. Through 36 holes, there are only 10 golfers under par of the […]

A dejected Rory McIlroy effectively ruled out his chances of contending for the 152nd Open Championship after posting a disappointing opening round of 78 at Royal Troon. Shane Lowry surged to the top of the leaderboard at five under par, taking advantage of the calmer late afternoon conditions at Royal Troon. In contrast, Rory McIlroy […]

With the Open Championship fast approaching, Rory McIlroy would prefer to accentuate the overall positive form of his golf game, rather than let a devastating U.S. Open collapse define his season, which does include two PGA Tour wins.

Jon Rahm was forced to watch the U.S. Open from his couch, so his main issue with Rory McIlroy’s missed 4-footer on the 18th hole at Pinehurst No. 2 — opening the door for Bryson DeChambeau — lied with the TV coverage. “One of the things that absolutely burned me, and I think it was […]

While detailing ongoing communication with LIV Golf’s backer, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan all-but admitted that the original framework agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been more or less scrapped. “I would say that the framework agreement is still relevant,” Monahan said Wednesday before the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in […]

The US Open at Pinehurst No.2 gave Rory McIlroy two huge experiences that he might never want to relive again.

Patrick Mahomes knows a thing or two about stepping up when his team needs him the most.

Unfortunately for Rory McIlroy, he did not have that kind of winning quality on […]

Rory McIlroy has been through a lot during his long search for his first major victory in nearly 10 years. On Sunday, fate brutally tempted the Northern Irishman again, as he came so close to ending his winless streak in a major competition that dates all the way back to 2014. During the final round […]

Rory McIlroy’s major tournament drought continues. He was so close to finally ending his lengthy absence from the top of the podium in a grand slam event on Sunday, but he faltered in the most crucial holes in the last round of the 2024 U.S. Open. As a result, McIlroy ended up second while Bryson […]

This is a heartbreak that will be felt throughout Rory McIlroy’s lifetime. The elite golfer from the PGA Tour could not bear the intensity of his fumble at the US Open Championships.

Rory McIlroy (-5) turned a three-stroke deficit into a two-stroke lead on Sunday, then bogeyed three of his final four holes — including two missed two putts inside of four feet — to fall one stroke short of Bryson DeChambeau (-6) at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Sunday marked Day 3,568 since […]
