00:00Rory McIlroy inches closer to goal. Can anyone stop him?
00:04Rory McIlroy is methodically etching his name into golf history, one calculated step at a time.
00:11The checklist that sparked a legacy run.
00:14At the start of 2025, McIlroy set a goal.
00:18Win the Masters, another Ryder Cup, and an Olympic medal.
00:21He's already done two, and the third looks likely.
00:24But he also wants to be remembered as Europe's greatest golfer.
00:27As the DP World Tour season ends in Dubai, he leads the race to Dubai.
00:33With only Tyrell Hatton and Marco Penge able to catch him, and they'd need near-perfect results.
00:39A historic climb toward Montgomery's record.
00:42If he wins, McIlroy would claim his seventh race to Dubai title.
00:46Just one shy of Colin Montgomery's record of eight, and mark four straight wins, a streak unmatched in tour history.
00:52Last year, after tying Seve Ballesteros with six titles, McIlroy showed his emotions, reflecting on Seve's legacy, the Ryder Cup spirit, and the personal meaning of overcoming challenges on courses that once tested him.
01:06Familiar turf, familiar fire.
01:08I've come this far, McIlroy said.
01:10I might as well try for eight or nine.
01:13It's not ego.
01:14It's focus.
01:14He has years of top-level golf ahead, and his drive hasn't faded.
01:20Wins at Jumeirah Golf Estates in 2012, 2015, and 2024 show his consistency, and his 62 in Abu Dhabi proves he's still at his peak.
01:30Hatton needs a win and a McIlroy slip.
01:33Penge needs a win, luck, and help from the wind.
01:36McIlroy?
01:37He just needs to be himself.
01:39The greatest European golfer ever?
01:41He might not say it yet, but he's already playing like it.
