Rory McIlroy to Reduce PGA Tour Schedule

Rory McIlroy is planning to significantly reduce his PGA Tour schedule for 2025, aiming to prioritize his health as he approaches his late thirties after a demanding 27-event season. The 35-year-old golfer, who narrowly lost the US Open to Bryson DeChambeau, is considering limiting his participation to around 22 or 23 events next year, focusing on key tournaments in Europe and the Middle East. He has indicated that he will likely skip certain U.S. events, including the FedEx Cup playoffs and others he does not regularly participate in. Despite these changes, McIlroy remains committed to prominent competitions such as the Irish Open, Scottish Open, and Wentworth. DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings expressed confidence in McIlroy’s continued support of the tour, despite concerns about the potential impact of his reduced schedule. McIlroy's decision reflects his desire to manage the physical demands of professional golf while maintaining competitive performance.
