00:00Rory McIlroy loses to Matt Fitzpatrick in Playoff Thriller.
00:04At the DP World Tour Championship, Rory McIlroy drained a 15-foot eagle on 72,
00:10but Matt Fitzpatrick out-dueled him by the thinnest of margins.
00:15Rory McIlroy caps off a legendary season.
00:18His par on the first playoff hole, the 18th of course,
00:21came after McIlroy found the water with his tee shot and couldn't recover.
00:25Despite the playoff loss, McIlroy's 2025 was nothing short of spectacular.
00:30He claimed the Masters to complete his long-awaited career Grand Slam.
00:35And he clinched a fourth straight race to Dubai title,
00:38a feat that underscores his sustained excellence and dominance on the European circuit.
00:42Every one of his major individual victories this season came via playoffs,
00:47a testament to his resilience, nerve, and ability to rise under pressure.
00:51A final round, filled with fireworks and fluctuations.
00:56Fitzpatrick, McIlroy, Fleetwood, Oberg, and Cantor all circled around the top of the leaderboard like hawks,
01:01but it was Fitzpatrick who landed the final strike.
01:04His 6-foot birdie on 18 forced McIlroy into desperation mode.
01:09And to his credit, Rory delivered, launching a fairway wood from 230 yards
01:14to set up the eagle putt that brought the gallery to its feet.
01:17Fitzpatrick's patience finally pays off.
01:20For Fitzpatrick, it was a redemptive moment, his first win in two years,
01:24and his third title at the earth course.
01:27I feel like I really didn't hit one bad shot all day, he said,
01:30clearly emotional but focused after the win.
01:33Yeah, what a feeling.
01:35For Rory McIlroy, it was a minor stumble at the end of an otherwise towering season.
01:40If this was the final chapter of McIlroy's 2025, it was fittingly dramatic,
01:46intensely competitive, and just short of perfection.
