Rory McIlroy's performances in 2023

Rory McIlroy got off to a solid start this year. After winning the 2023 Dubai Desert Classic, he played in the PGA Tour event, the 2023 WM Phoenix Open, and finished T32.

At the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he tied for second place. Mcllroy struggled with his game in a few events, and missed the cut in two consecutive tournaments, The Players Championship and Masters.

But Rory quickly turned things around, winning the Genesis Scottish Open and surprising everyone with his performance at the Ryder Cup. At the biennial competition, he contributed four more points to his team's victory.

McIlroy will tee off for the first round of the 2023 DP World Tour Championship at 12:45 GMT with Jon Rahm. They will start their game on the first tee hole of the Jumeirah Golf Estates Course in Dubai.
