Few golfers have had more success over the past 15 years than Rory McIlroy. Some would argue that he was the most successful of all.
This week, he returns to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am looking to secure his 30th PGA Tour win. This is a milestone that adds another layer to his already impressive career.

McIlroy has won at some of the most prestigious courses in golf, including Pebble Beach, Congressional, Valhalla and TPC Sawgrass.
However, his resume is still missing some tournaments that he would like to add.
After finishing the second round at Pebble Beach on Friday, McIlroy was asked if there was an event he hadn’t won that had special meaning to him.

“There are places we haven’t won yet, but we want to win, and St. Andrews is one of them,” McIlroy said.
He went on to name two specific PGA Tour venues where winning is still high on the list.
“Next week Riviera is going to be a different course. Muirfield. So Riviera and Muirfield Village are two, but the reason for that is even more important. I mean, these are great golf courses, but also who is hosting the event. You know, Tiger and Jack.”
“I was able to win at Bay Hill, but not while Ernie was around, so it would be great to win both tournaments while they were both alive and active.”
“There’s going to be a few more years until Tiger’s event. Jack’s obviously a little older. Yeah, two more years.”

Rory McIlroy sets new goals for 2026 PGA Tour campaign
There’s no question McIlroy has the game to win at both Riviera and Muirfield Village, and there’s little doubt he’ll look to check them off his list in the coming years.
The 36-year-old also appears to have a renewed sense of purpose compared to this time last year and has set new goals for the 2026 season.
He talked about how difficult it was mentally after winning the Masters in April 2025, admitting that motivation became an issue.
“You’re going to climb that mountain. It just takes a little bit of time to adapt and reset your goals,” he said. “I think there was a few months there, probably last summer, where I felt a little unmotivated.”

But now he seems reinvigorated and keen to continue building on his already remarkable legacy. He wants more silverware and an all-time great status.
Additions like wins at Riviera and Muirfield Village will only enhance an already impressive career record.
