Rory McIlroy’s Struggle for a Major Win: The Masters and Career Grand Slam Bid

Rory McIlroy’s quest for a career Grand Slam continues to elude him as he fell short once again at The Masters, finishing tied-22nd in another frustrating major week at Augusta National. The former world No 1 has not won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship and still needs to win The Masters to complete the elusive career Grand Slam.

McIlroy started the tournament strong with his lowest opening round at The Masters since 2018, but a second-round 77 dropped him down the leaderboard. Despite a valiant effort in the third round, he was unable to make up ground and ended the week on four over par.

Reflecting on his performance, McIlroy admitted there is “lots of room for improvement” in his game and acknowledged the challenges he faced at Augusta National. He expressed a desire to work on his game and make a plan for the upcoming months to improve his form.

The Northern Irishman’s next stop is the RBC Heritage in South Carolina, followed by the Zurich Classic of New Orleans where he will team up with Shane Lowry. McIlroy is scheduled to play in several events leading up to the PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he will have another shot at ending his major drought.

Despite the setbacks, McIlroy remains optimistic about his game and is committed to making the necessary changes to achieve success. Fans can watch McIlroy in action throughout the PGA Tour season live on Sky Sports, with his next appearance at the RBC Heritage. Stay tuned for more updates on McIlroy’s journey towards major glory.
