Rory McIlroy is currently in Dubai playing in one of the DP World Tour Championship tournaments. The Northern Irish golfer is currently on track to win his seventh Race to Dubai title, but he is aware that he must remain focused and determined until the very end. He is currently in a tie for third place after the first round of the DP World Tour Championship.
Rory opened the tournament with a score of 66, and the media has been interested in Rory McIlroy's opinion regarding the possibility of being knighted.
The Northern Irish golfer is delighted with such an honor, but is aware that he cannot influence such decisions much, since, as he says, much more powerful and important people than him make such decisions.
‘If that were ever to happen, it would be an unbelievably massive honour.
That's obviously up to people a lot more powerful and important than me. But I mean, if it were to happen one day, it would be a very proud moment in my life.’- Rory said.
Whether the experienced golfer will actually receive such an honor is difficult to answer. The public hopes that important bodies will show him respect and recognition, because his season has been truly impressive.
McIlroy's season
Rory McIlroy has excelled this year by winning the Masters after years of waiting, thus completing the Career Grand Slam. In addition, the 36-year-old has excelled in the Ryder Cup, helping his team win the important trophy.
What kind of future awaits him, it is difficult to give a precise answer, but most expect even more dominant performances next year, considering that a huge burden has been lifted from his shoulders.
When it comes to the Race to Dubai, McIlroy is still at the very top, with Marco Penge the only golfer who can threaten his plans, but so far he has not excelled.
There is every chance that McIlroy will win another trophy, but we know that in the world of golf, things can often change in a short time.
