Only Tiger Woods' 120.9 million and McIlroy's 107.9 million surpass the number of world rankings, according to the state circuit on the web.
With his latest victory, the Tejano golfer, only 29 years old, reaches his goal of accumulating twenty victories on the PGA Tour, which makes him the top player in achieving this figure and McIlroy's first.
Since his first triumph in 2022 in the Phoenix League until the end, they have lasted 1,442 days, making it the second fastest to log the twenty-year list of titles, only after Tiger Woods, with 1,351.
He is also the third to achieve twenty victories in less than three decades, a hit that only starred Woods and the other great legend of American golf, Jack Nicklaus.
The winner of the Augusta Masters (2022 and 2024), the PGA Championship and the British Golf Championship, both last year, will continue to earn the PGA Tour's lifetime prize.
The Rules of Golf are a set of standards and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf worldwide, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee composed of members of the R&A and the USGA oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision took effect on January 1, 2016. Amendments to the Rules of Golf are generally divided into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled "Rules of Golf," is published regularly and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Italian Golf Federation is responsible for overseeing competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R&A, ensuring that these rules are observed by clubs, associations, and their members, and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
