“Olympic medal. Open victory at St Andrews. Yeah, maybe like a U.S. Open at one of those like old, traditional golf courses whether it’s Shinnecock this year or Winged Foot or Pebble Beach, Merion,” said McIlroy.
“Yeah, I would say those. Again, like I keep saying, I would have told you two years ago, if I won the Masters, it would have been great and I could are retired or whatever.
“But when you keep doing things, the goal posts keep moving, and you just keep finding new things that you want to do.
“So yeah, I’m sure if I were to achieve those things, which geez, I hope that I do, I’d probably give you more stuff in four years’ time. I think when you’re a competitive person, that’s just the way you’re wired and sort of the way we operate”,
The trio of goals remain very much within McIlroy’s grasp while his immediate focus is a fifth Hero Dubai Desert Classic victory.
