Nov. 11 (UPI) -- The DP World Tour created the Rory McIlroy Award, which will be presented annually to the member who performs best in all four majors, golf officials announced Tuesday.
McIlroy, who became the first European in history to achieve a career Grand Slam when he won the 2025 Masters, is ineligible to win the award of his namesake.
"To have something named after you, that will be presented to future generations of players, is a huge honor and it is very humbling," McIlroy said.
"It certainly means a lot to me because the DP World Tour was where I started my career. I've always loved playing on it and, of course, representing Europe and the Tour in the Ryder Cup."
