The 35-year-old is now more than a decade into his hunt for a fifth major after joining Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only man to win four of golf’s biggest prizes before turning 25. The time since has featured a number of near misses, including last year’s US Open heartbreak as McIlroy squandered a winning position late on at Pinehurst.
A runner-up at Augusta in 2022, McIlroy has regularly contended for a green jacket without yet pulling on the garment, and has made winning the prestige prize his primary goal for this year as he bids to complete a career grand slam. “"I've realised that all I can control is myself. What's right for me right now is to fully focus on myself and to get the best out of myself and get back to winning the biggest tournaments in the world.
"I've been agonisingly close for the past few years, without being able to get it done and that that is the main focus of this year. All of my practice, all of my prep, even the tournaments that I'm playing, it's all geared towards being ready for those four events.
