Over the past 15 years, few golfers have enjoyed more success than Rory McIlroy. Some would even argue he’s been the most successful of all.
This week, he’s back at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am looking to secure his 30th PGA Tour win, a milestone that would add yet another layer to his already impressive career.

McIlroy has collected wins at some of golf’s most storied courses, including Pebble Beach, Congressional, Valhalla and TPC Sawgrass.
But there are still a couple of tournaments missing from his CV that he’d love to add.
After finishing his second round at Pebble Beach on Friday, McIlroy was asked if there were any events he hasn’t won that hold special meaning for him.

“There are places I haven’t won that I would love to, St. Andrews being one of them,” McIlroy replied.
He went on to name two specific PGA Tour venues where a victory is still high on his list.
“Riviera next week would be another. Muirfield. I mean, Riviera and Muirfield Village are two but more so because of — I mean, they’re wonderful golf courses but who hosts the events as well. You know, Tiger and Jack.
“I was able to win Bay Hill but not while Arnie was around, so it would be nice to win both those tournaments while both those guys are alive and kicking.”
“Got a few more years left for hopefully Tiger’s event. Jack’s obviously a little bit older. Yeah, those are two.”

There’s no question that McIlroy has the game to win at both Riviera and Muirfield Village, and there’s little doubt he’ll be pushing to check those off his list in the coming years.
The 36-year-old also appears to have set fresh objectives as he looks ahead to the 2026 season, with a renewed sense of purpose compared to this time last year.
He spoke about how difficult it was for him mentally after his Masters win in April 2025, admitting that motivation became an issue.
“Climbing that mountain. It just takes a little bit of time just to adapt and get your goals reset,” he said. “It probably took me a couple of months through the summer there last year where I probably felt a little unmotivated.”

Now, though, he seems recharged and eager to keep building on what is already a remarkable legacy. He wants more silverware and a place among the greatest ever.
Additions like wins at Riviera and Muirfield Village would only strengthen an already impressive career record.
