Rory McIlroy has announced plans to reduce his tournament schedule after a demanding 2024 season, where he competed in 27 events and experienced a performance slump following the U.S. Open. He expressed intentions to limit his future participation to around 18 to 20 tournaments a year, acknowledging the physical and mental toll of his current commitments. Despite this, McIlroy finished strong at the Tour Championship, tying for ninth place and earning a substantial FedExCup bonus. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler secured the Tour Championship title, marking his seventh win of the season with a remarkable performance that included a final round of 67. McIlroy praised Scheffler's consistency and skill, highlighting the latter's impressive season earnings. Looking ahead, McIlroy plans to take part in several events on the DP World Tour during the fall, as he aims for a more balanced approach to his golf career.
