Rory McIlroy has huge ambitions for this season, and we’ll see if he’s on the right track to achieving them. Before the start of each season, the 35-year-old shares his goals for the current season, and his ambition has been shown this time as well.
Namely, in an interview with the BBC, the great golfer revealed that winning the Masters is a priority, just like in previous years. However, in addition, McIlroy is thinking about winning the Olympic medal as well as the Ryder Cup.
“Winning the Masters, winning an Olympic medal and another away Ryder Cup, they are my three goals for the rest of my career.”
Rory wants to complete the career Grand Slam, as in previous seasons.
Winning the Masters is, according to many, the greatest feat that a golfer can achieve.
McIlroy is aware that he could work on some aspects of his game if he wants to reach the goal.

Rory McIlroy: I’ve realised that all I can control is myself
The Northern Irishman does not want to analyze things too much, nor to look for the culprit in others, considering that he is the only person who can change things on the golf scene. Although from year to year the media creates enormous pressure, Rory does not want to give them as much attention as he used to. The question is, can McIlroy cope with the enormous pressure that comes year after year?
“I’ve realised that all I can control is myself. What’s right for me right now is to fully focus on myself and to get the best out of myself and get back to winning the biggest tournaments in the world.”- Rory said.
