Rory McIlroy reveals three goals for the 'rest of his career'

Rory McIlroy recently revealed the three goals he aims to achieve for the rest of his career. McIlroy has had a splendid golf career after he turned professional in 2007, that includes 41 titles, 26 of which came on the PGA Tour.

The Irish player has four Major championship titles to his name except for the Masters tournament.

In a recent interview with BBC Sports, McIlroy spoke about three goals he has for the remainder of his career.

"Winning the Masters, winning an Olympic medal and another away Ryder Cup, they are my three goals for the rest of my career," McIlroy said.

McIlroy has competed in two editions of the Olympics but is yet to win a medal. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Northern Irishman tied for third but narrowly missed the bronze in a seven-man playoff. At the Paris Olympics, he tied for fifth with Jon Rahm. The next editions of the Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, California in 2028.

Despite not winning an Olympic medal, the golf star has represented Team Europe in seven editipns Ryder Cups, helping them secure victory five times. The next away edition of the Ryder Cup will be held in 2027 at The Golf Course at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland.

Talking about his goals for the 2025 season, he said:

"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."

Rory McIlroy will next be seen in action at this week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, California.
