As Rory McIlroy embarks on his 18th professional season, conversations revolve around the 'third act' of his career. Known for his early success, McIlroy won four major titles before turning 25, placing him among legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. With aspirations soaring, there is hope that a change in approach can lead to major victories, including the elusive Green Jacket and a potential clean sweep of golf's most prestigious tournaments.
Those in and around the Rory McIlroy camp talk of the "third act" of his career, and as the Northern Irishman sets out on his 18th season as a professional it is now possible to envisage the story one day coming of age.
The first act saw the prodigy becoming the protagonist as he transformed all of that potential and those whispers into historic substance.
McIlroy became the youngest European to win four majors and along with Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, one of three players in the modern era to achieve the quartet before he turned 25.
