McIlroy Wins Sixth Race to Dubai Title

Rory McIlroy ended a challenging year both personally and professionally by winning the DP World Tour Championship, securing his sixth Race to Dubai title, tying with Seve Ballesteros for the most wins in this event. In May, McIlroy filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll, before reconciling in June, and expressed deep gratitude for her support during his victory speech. Professionally, McIlroy endured near misses, notably at the US Open, but persevered to claim four tournament wins this year, including a difficult final round in Dubai against Rasmus Hojgaard. Acknowledging his caddie Harry Diamond's support, McIlroy reflected on the emotional toll of the year and his plans to reduce his tour schedule in 2025. Despite the challenges, McIlroy expressed contentment with his career trajectory and personal life, celebrating the victory with his family. His emotional response post-victory underscored both the relief and significance of ending the year on a high note.
