Rory McIlroy Targets Iron-Play Fix After 'Stats Review'

Ahead of the Dubai Desert Classic, McIlroy said his post-Australia 'stats review' showed his 2023-24 numbers beat 2025, despite completing the career Grand Slam at Augusta. "The highs in 25 were incredibly high," he said, but wants to "tidy up" consistency for 2026. "My iron play fell off" late last year, adding he'll keep his putting sharp while improving irons.
