"Yeah, 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. I'm not chasing these things. I'm very content with what I've done in the game. I'm still driven to do more, but you know, it's sort of a pinpoint to drive in certain directions."
"You know, you can't keep all the plates spinning at the same time and something had to give. And that was the thing that ultimately I had to stop doing to pursue some of these other things. If you look at my golf since then, it's been a pretty good run. It's been a nice - maybe a bit of a clearer head and a little bit more time to spend on practice and putting that into my game."
Rory McIlroy says his desire to compete remains strong despite completing the career Grand Slam. He plans to play a more global yet slightly lighter schedule while remaining committed to the European Tour. McIlroy credits resigning from the PGA Tour's Policy Board for clearing his head and allowing more time for practice, which he links to his best season. He aims to win a seventh Race to Dubai and move closer to Colin Montgomerie's record eight Harry Vardon Trophy wins. McIlroy expresses contentment with past achievements while focusing on targeted future goals.
