Rory McIlroy completed his career Grand Slam with victory at the Masters in April. After a wait of over a decade, the Northern Irishman finally clinched the title that had continually eluded him. McIlroy was overjoyed as he celebrated at Augusta, his victory etching his name alongsidde Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan, and Gene Sarazen as the only golfers to have completed the career Grand Slam - defined as winning The Open, US Open, PGA Championship, and the Masters. Since his landmark victory, McIlroy, 36, has taken a step back from regular tournament play, opting to participate in only a handful of events over the past couple of months. While speaking with journalists at the RBC Canadian Open, which is part of his limited schedule, McIlroy confessed that his mindset has shifted since his Masters success - but it's not necessarily been for the better. Remarkably, McIlroy candidly opened up on the mental struggle he's now facing, revealing his uncertainty over what he's striving for next after achieving his Masters dream. "Yeah, I don't know if I'm chasing anything," he told reporters. "I would certainly say that the last few weeks I've had a couple weeks off, and going and grinding on the range for three or four hours every day is maybe a little tougher than it used to be." He added: "You have this event in your life that you've worked towards and it happens, sometimes it's hard to find the motivation to get back on the horse and go again." Since securing the Masters title, McIlroy has only teed off at the Truist Championship and the PGA Championship, notably skipping the Memorial Tournament. His recent performance at the PGA Championship was less than stellar, ending up T47. The golf star hinted that his selective approach to tournaments post-Masters is a result of achieving a career and emotional peak, leading him to contemplate his next moves. McIlroy has also been using this period for mental preparation, aiming for continued success. "I think the last two weeks have been good for me just as a reset, just to sort of figure out where I'm at in my own head, what I want to do, where I want to play," he added. "Yeah, reset some goals. "I thought it was a good time to reset some goals. I've had a pretty good first half of the season, and I want to have a good second half of the season now, too." Some, like McIlory's putting coach Brad Faxon, believing completing his career Grand Slam could be the perfect time for McIlroy to walk away from the sport. "Nobody would fault him if he said, 'I'm good, I don't have to do this anymore'," Faxon said, speaking to 'The Smylie Show' He added: "I am in that awkward and interesting position of having been part of Rory's team for so long now. To reach that goal, and to do it at the Masters. I always thought Rory would definitely win more majors before he won the Masters. "I didn't know he would win the Masters before he won another one of those majors."
