The DP World Tour is set to introduce a new trophy in honour of Rory McIlroy, with the award debuting next season.
The Rory McIlroy Award will be given to the player who accumulates the most Race to Dubai points across the four major championships. The new accolade celebrates McIlroy’s achievement earlier this year when he became the first European player to complete a career Grand Slam.
Tommy Fleetwood has shared his thoughts on the announcement, especially since he is expected to be one of the main contenders for it.
Tommy Fleetwood shares thoughts on the Rory McIlroy Award
While many would assume that Rory McIlroy will be a favourite to win the award, he and the DP World Tour have agreed that he won’t be eligible.
Fleetwood took a lighthearted approach, saying he’s happy about McIlroy’s ineligibility as it improves his own chances of taking home the trophy.
