Rory McIlroy dropped a hint on his upcoming schedule following the Masters.<\/p>\n
Rory McIlroy<\/a> plans to handle his Masters win a bit differently this time around. McIlroy was asked about another potential long layoff following Augusta similar to his approach in 2025. <\/p>\n The 2-time Masters champion revealed he plans to take a \u201ca couple of weeks off\u201d before playing in another tournament. For context, the next major is the PGA Championship which tees off on May 14, at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n It sounds like McIlroy will aim to return to PGA Tour play<\/a> prior to the next major. <\/p>\n \u201cI think different (the schedule between events). Different (from 2025),\u201d McIlroy told reporters<\/a> on April 13. \u201cYeah, I said at the start of the weekend here I felt like the Grand Slam was the destination, and I realized it wasn\u2019t. I\u2019m on this journey to \u2014 I don\u2019t know, I just won my sixth major, and I feel like I\u2019m in a really good spot with my game and my body.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 I\u2019ve waited so long to win the Masters, and all of a sudden I win two in a row. So I still want to enjoy it. I\u2019ve got a couple of weeks off before I go back to play competitive golf, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll go through that lull of motivation or the sort of things that I was feeling last year post winning this tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need to know about McIlroy following his Masters victory. <\/p>\n Rory McIlroy\u2019s Next PGA Tour Tournament May Be the Cadillac Championship on April 30<\/p>\n This means McIlroy will not play the RBC Heritage this week. It also calls into question his status for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. <\/p>\n President Donald Trump may have dropped a hint about McIlroy\u2019s next event. Following the Masters, Trump sent a congratulatory message to McIlroy while adding that he planned to watch the star play in Doral at the Cadillac Championship which begins April 30. <\/p>\n \u201cCongratulations to Rory McIlroy on another Great Championship, The Masters!\u201d Trump noted in an April 13, Truth Social post.<\/a> \u201cHe performed tremendously under intense pressure, something which few people would be able to even think about doing. With each year, Rory is becoming more and more a LEGEND! <\/p>\n \u201cI look forward to watching him compete in two weeks at Doral. The quality of Professional Golfers today has become extraordinary, each and every one of them. They should all be proud of the way they played at The Masters this weekend!\u201d<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy After Winning 2nd Masters: \u2018I Still Have Things I Want to Achieve\u2019<\/p>\n McIlroy has now won six majors following his second Masters victory. The star has a chance to go for his seventh at the PGA Championship. <\/p>\n McIlroy indicated that he is still hungry despite finally winning at Augusta National and completing the Grand Slam in 2025. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to put a number on it, but I feel like this win is just \u2014 I don\u2019t want to say a stop on the journey, but yeah, it\u2019s just a part of the journey,\u201d McIlroy explained. \u201cI still have things I want to achieve, but I still want to enjoy it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJonathan Adams<\/a> is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
