Is another win on the horizon for Rory McIlroy? McIlroy had a disappointing showing in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2025, following a stellar start to the season that included a historic Masters victory that completed his career Grand Slam. Despite putting on a solid third-round performance with Shane Lowry, the two could not sustain their momentum and finished outside the top 10, at T12, having scored 22 under par. Following this surprising outcome, fans and experts wonder when McIlroy can return to the course and whether he can regain his winning ways.
Where is Rory McIlroy playing next?
Rory McIlroy will play at the 2025 Truist Championship as the defending champion. The tournament will take place at the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course from May 7–11. This will be his first individual appearance since winning the Masters.
This participation will offer Rory an opportunity to bounce back from his Zurich Classic performance and gain momentum before the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. With a $20 million total purse, the stakes are high. While the runner-up receives $2.16 million, the winner will receive $3.6 million. His participation was confirmed by the Truist Championship’s official Instagram account, which shared a picture of McIlroy along with the message, “See you in Philly, @RoryMcIlroy! #TruistChampionship.”
Taking place before the season’s second major, the field is a competitive one and includes big names like Ludvig Åberg, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Akshay Bhatia, Patrick Cantlay, Nick Dunlap, Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, and Xander Schauffele. However, the World No. 1 and the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson winner, Scottie Scheffler, has chosen to forego the competition to maybe focus on the PGA Championship.
The Truist Championship promises four days of fierce competition with no cut and a small field of 72 players. All eyes will be on Philadelphia to see if McIlroy can step up to the plate as he looks to add another championship to his stellar 2025 campaign. Given his recent performance and the competitive field, fans are excited to see if he can win again.
