| McIlroy hasn’t finished outside the top 10 in a tournament since the last edition of The Power 18, which came out prior to the St. Jude Championship. Since then, all the world No. 1 has done is win the FedEx Cup, DP World Tour Championship and CJ Cup in South Carolina — his lone start of the 2023 PGA Tour season. Not yet a cut above the rest of the world of golf, McIlroy is beginning to approach such territory. In 2022, the 33-year-old averaged a career best +2.61 strokes gained per round. For reference, that’s even better than 2012 when he won five times and 2014 when he won his last two major championships. Major championships … that’s all McIlroy will be judged on moving forward (fair or not) as he has remained on No. 4 for nearly a decade. Let’s see if that changes in 2023. Previous rank: 1 |
