As he nears the end of his most personally satisfying season yet, Rory McIlroy said he’s content with what he has accomplished in the game.
But that doesn’t mean he’s finished.
Closing on in a seventh season-ending Race to Dubai title on the DP World Tour, McIlroy said that his hunger to compete hasn’t waned. He is now just channeling it differently.
“I don’t think my desire’s gone. It’s certainly not gone,” he told reporters Tuesday at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. “I think it’s just going to be one of those things where I’m going to have to pick and choose where to sort of place my desire and what I want my goals to be.
“I’m certainly not less driven, but maybe just more driven in focused areas. I don’t feel like chasing as much anymore. I’m not out chasing the Grand Slam.
