Rory McIlroy will target more major success and further records during his 2026 schedule, having enjoyed the "best year" of his career during the previous campaign.
McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam with his dramatic play-off win at The Masters, his fifth major title and first in 11 years, then played a key role in Europe's impressive Ryder Cup victory over Team USA on American soil.
The Northern Irishman also won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players on the PGA Tour, while a play-off success at the Amgen Irish Open helped him secure the DP World Tour's season-long Race to Dubai for a seventh time.
McIlroy became just the third golfer in history to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Award and received his sixth Association of Golf Writers Trophy for his efforts, with last year's achievements cementing his status as one of the sport's all-time greats.
He is one win away from matching Sir Nick Faldo's total of six majors - the most by a European in the modern era - and one away from equalling Colin Montgomerie's record of eight Race to Dubai titles, with both potential targets for McIlroy over the forthcoming season.
McIlroy has yet to confirm his full 2026 schedule, having previously said he would select events that "best fits me and my life" and that he would use the "luxury" of his position to select which tournaments he would participate in.
McIlroy will start his season with back-to-back events on the DP World Tour in the Middle East, before making his first PGA Tour appearance since August when he defends his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title in California.
He has yet to confirm which other tournaments he will tee it up in during 2026, but he is likely to play most Signature Events and make further starts on the PGA Tour ahead of the season-ending FedExCup Playoffs.
McIlroy has historically switched focus from the PGA Tour to the DP World Tour after the Tour Championship, with a title defence in Ireland and a return to the BMW PGA Championship both expected.
There will be more events added, but here are the tournaments where he has confirmed he will feature...
