The 2025 season is underway and that means another fresh start for McIlroy, who will deliver a renewed bid for major glory.

McIlroy played 27 times last year, although that number could drop to as low as 20 this year after hinting that he would like to cut back his schedule.

The Northern Irishman has already started to map out his campaign and secured his first win of 2025 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his 27th on the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy schedule

After getting his season off to the perfect start, McIlroy took part in TGL – the indoor golf league he co-founded with Tiger Woods – as part of the Boston Common Golf team.

But his team were eliminated before the season-ending play-offs.

It means McIlroy is full steam ahead for the major season, and he has addressed the elephant in the room – how will he prepare for The Masters in April?

“I don’t like the idea of having three weeks off going into the Masters, so I may add one event, but I’m still between what event that may be,” he said. “But it really just depends on how these two weeks go and how I’m feeling about my game.

“But I would imagine I would add an event leading into there, it just depends on whether it’s Houston or San Antonio.”

After finishing T15 at the Arnold Palmer, McIlroy said he had almost made his mind up on his plan, which will be revealed after The Players at Sawgrass.

Two weeks after his bid for the Green Jacket at the Masters, McIlroy will defend his Zurich Classic title with Shane Lowry in New Orleans.

McIlroy has also confirmed he will return to the Canadian Open in June, which is held the week before the US Open.

McIlroy’s ten-year US Open exemption ran out in 2022, but he will qualify based on a number of other factors – most notably his world ranking.
