In a press conference prior to the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Rory McIlroy gave everyone a glimpse of his schedule. He said, “I’ll probably play, including the Ryder Cup, something like 22,” which is a lot less than the 27 events he played in 2024. Speaking about his commitments to the European circuit, he said, “My DP World Tour schedule will be pretty similar to what it was last year.” This suggests that McIlroy is not going to cut down on DP World Tour events.
During this reveal, he shared something that would cause distress to Jay Monahan. McIlroy said, “I’ll play a similar schedule here (in the DP World Tour), and just shave off some events over in the States.” This suggests that he will play fewer PGA Tour events in 2025. This is deeply concerning for Jay Monahan & co. who welcomed Rory McIlroy to 19 PGA Tour events in 2024.
