🏆 Rory McIlroy to Get His Own Award
The DP World Tour just dropped a major announcement: the brand-new Rory McIlroy Award. It’ll go to the player who earns the most Race to Dubai points at all four Majors — a flex honouring Europe’s first modern Grand Slam winner.
Expect future contenders to be dialling in their swings — and probably swapping out golf tees like a lucky charm — just to get their name on Rory’s shiny new trophy.
