2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a good year by any measure with win wins at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the Wells Fargo Championship in back-to-back starts, but it could have been a great year by McIlroy standards had a couple short putts gone in down the stretch at the U.S. Open. It's still a bit unfathomable that a player as great as McIlroy has not won a major since 2014, but here we are heading into 2025. The Northern Irishman was third in SG: Total in 2024 (+1.41), but significantly behind both Scottie Scheffler (+2.50) and Xander Schauffele (+1.94). You know he's going to be motivated to close that gap and prove why he still deserves to be the top player on the PGA Tour. To do that he will need to improve his iron play in which he ranked 55th in SG: Approach and 131st in GIR percentage, down from 8th and 79th in 2023, respectively. Read Past Outlooks
Notches T6 finish in Hartford
McIlroy finished in a share of sixth place after shooting a five-under 65 in the final round of the Travelers Championship.
ANALYSIS
The top two ranked players in the OWGR finished the week tied at 12-under-par in a share of sixth. Both Scottie Scheffler and McIlroy had one round that doomed them, and for the Northern Irishman it came in round two. It was breezy on Friday, but you can't come out with bogeys on three of your first four holes when you're in the mix and expect to stay in the hunt. McIlroy was just 36th in SG: Off-the-Tee, as he really struggled to keep the ball in the short grass. The good news was that he putted beautifully gaining nearly seven shots on the field, the second-best mark in the field. After winning the first signature event of the season in Pebble Beach, you thought McIlroy might find another but it wasn't to be. That said, he's not complaining about his win at THE PLAYERS or The Masters. This T6 seems to stop the bleeding after a rough couple months. McIlroy will look to put his best foot forward at the Open Championship next month.

After his initial victory at the CJ Cup in South Carolina to kick off the 2022-23 season, McIlroy faced early challenges in 2023 on the PGA Tour, with five finishes outside the top-25 over seven starts. However, the Northern Irishman hit his stride in the summer, securing 10 consecutive top-10 finishes to end the season, including a win at the Scottish Open. Statistically, McIlroy's performance was strong across all aspects of his game last season. The key for him is maintaining mental focus for four rounds, especially at majors, where he hasn't triumphed since 2014. Despite this, McIlroy's potential remains high, making him a top pick, though he tends to play fewer events than some other leading contenders. Given his caliber, a five-win 2024 season for the future Hall-of-Famer wouldn't be surprising at all.
