Rory McIlroy once again proved why he's one of the biggest names in golf. Apart from bagging titles on the PGA Tour this year, he also dominated in the DP World Tour (formerly known as European Tour) field. From his precision off the tee to his short game skills, the Irishman's season was filled with remarkable stats.
The Olympian's power with his drives has been one of his hallmark skills. He led the DP World Tour field in driving distance, averaging a whopping 328.71 yards compared to his peers at 301.62 yards.
McIlroy posted a tour-best scoring average of 68.50 in 12 events played this year - an almost two stroke difference from the field average. While his putting has been under scrutiny on social media for his short miss at the 2024 US Open's 72nd hole, the numbers tell otherwise. The 18-time DP World Tour winner averaged 1.72 putts per green in regulation hit to rank seventh and is better than the field average in putting stats.
