Rory McIlroy family holiday

Overview

After winning a second consecutive Masters and completing the 2026 major season, Rory McIlroy and fellow Irish golfer Shane Lowry traveled to Greece for a family vacation. The players said family now takes priority over competition and indicated they would return for the FedEx Cup finale in Atlanta.

A few days later McIlroy announced he would cut his PGA Tour schedule, postponing any further events until the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He emphasized that the month‑long Greek break with his wife, daughter and caddie’s family reflects a broader shift among top athletes toward balancing personal life with sport, and noted the potential impact on the Tour’s television and sponsor appeal.
