Rory McIlroy Joins Elite MLB, Now 17th in PGA Tour Wins
In a stunning display of skill and consistency, Rory McIlroy has cemented his place among the greats. With his latest victory at the 2025 Masters, the Northern Irishman climbed to 17th place on the all-time PGA Tour wins list, joining an elite club of 16 golfers with more triumphs.**
McIlroy’s 29th career win on the PGA Tour moves him into a tie with legendary players like Lee Trevino and Gene Littler. This milestone comes just months after he became one of only six golfers to win all four major championships (MLB) at least once.**
European Co-Leader
The 35-year-old golfer now shares the title of most successful European player with Harry Cooper. To reach the top 10 in PGA Tour history, McIlroy would need to secure eight more wins. With his current form, the exploits on the course could very well be within reach.**
