Rory McIlroy

The Northern Irishman was the second-highest earner on the PGA TOUR in 2023 with $32.9 million, winning three titles – the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, the Genesis Scottish Open, and the Race to Dubai title. Could 2024 be the year that McIlroy finally clinches that evasive Masters title?
