Famous golf analyst Kyle Porter recently released a list of golfers that showed exceptional consistency in the last eight major tournaments from 2022 to 2023 in a tweet. One big name stood out for his lack of victories in those eight events. No prizes for guessing, it’s Rory McIlroy.

Despite being the most consistent performer during the above-mentioned period, it’s a matter of alarm that McIlroy has not been able to win a major. In fact, if truth be told, his last major win came in 2014. Let’s find out more about Porter’s tweet.

Rory McIlroy tops list of consistent performers but fails to secure major victory

Porter painstakingly developed a thorough list that featured 36 golfers who finished all eight majors without withdrawing. These sportsmen proved that they had what it took to tackle the difficult tournaments and the physical demands of professional golf.

Kyle Porter wrote on Twitter, “There have been 36 golfers who have played in (and not WD from) the last eight majors (2022-2023). Here are their total scores (including score at the time of MC if applicable). Major winners highlighted.”

Golf legend Rory McIlroy, a former world number one, rose to the top of the list with a startling overall score of -41 over the eight majors. He missed the cut just once. He was able to outpace his competitors by a wide margin thanks to his consistent strong play. Nevertheless, despite this outstanding performance, the Northern Irishman was unable to secure a major victory within the allotted time.

McIlroy displayed glimpses of brilliance on the course across the eight majors, showcasing the talent and finesse that have won him throngs of admirers around the world. His passion and talent are evident from the low scores he constantly turns in. The golfing community is unsure whether McIlroy’s recent struggles are due to the unpredictable nature of the sport or if there are other reasons at play.

Rory McIlroy’s close call at the 2023 Open Championship

Rory McIlroy’s pursuit of victory in the 2023 Open Championship fell short, as he settled for a respectable tied 6th place, despite an incredible display of brilliance and unwavering resolve. This result kept the Irishman in the same position he was in prior to the competition in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), preventing him from achieving the desired No. 1 place.

McIlroy consistently displayed his incredible skill and ability on the golf course throughout the competition. But despite his best efforts, he was unable to repeat the historic victory he had earned at the Hoylake course back in 2014. He looked good to break the jinx this time, alas, he failed yet again.

Rory’s finish at the competition earned him a well-deserved reward of $551,250. His remarkable overall score of 6-under-par 278 i tough conditions further cemented his status as one of golf’s best competitors. What’s your take on Rory McIlroy’s major drought?
