The DP World Tour has announced the creation of the ' Rory McIlroy Award' which will be handed out annually to the best-performing individual member at the four Major championships.

The prize - which was designed to honor Europe's first-ever Career Grand Slam champion - cannot be won by McIlroy himself and will be presented for the first time after The Open Championship in 2026.

Rather than being decided on by a panel of judges, the Rory McIlroy Award will be decided by whoever accumulates the highest number of Race To Dubai points at The Masters, the PGA Championship, the US Open and The Open. You may like
