Rory McIlroy has 28 PGA Tour wins in his career. Several years ago, he was on a career trajectory like Arnold Palmer, Gary Player or maybe even Tiger Woods, because of how frequently he won at a young age.
Now, though, McIlroy is at a crossroads in his career as a long drought without a major championship win continues.
The last time Rory McIlroy won a PGA Tour event was the 2025 Players Championship. It was his second win of 2025 -- following on from a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. It's the first time in his career that he's won two PGA Tour events before April.
McIlroy's last major championship victory, though, came back in 2014.
Rory McIlroy won a major at the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky. He won The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool just three weeks prior to that for his third major title.
That doesn't mean McIlroy hasn't been on the cusp of ending the winless streak several times. He has been a machine with top-10 finishes in the majors since his last win. He had a great chance to win the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst No. 2 but came just short against Bryson DeChambeau.
McIlroy has managed to win the FedEx Cup three times since his last major win, including in 2022.
