Just over a year ago, Rory McIlroy was at a low point.
The four-time major champion was moved to tears at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, after he went 1-3 and could do nothing to stop the U.S. team's historic 19-9 beatdown of the Europeans. At one point in 2021, McIlroy hadn't won in 18 months and was ranked 15th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Since picking up that elusive victory at the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship, McIlroy has won four more times, including the 2022 Tour Championship at East Lake in August.
