Huge year ahead as Rory McIlroy chases his career slam

Post Thumbnail

Rory McIlroy will only have eyes for Augusta.

We are set for a thrilling 2015 season where the Majors will take centre stage.

With Rory McIlroy going for his career Grand Slam and third Major in a row at The Masters and The Open at St Andrews this year, we should be in for a treat.

After his exploits in 2014, Rory is the top dog and is now the target for everyone else to catch and they are queuing up behind to challenge.

We already know about Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler, but there are plenty of others waiting to emerge.

English duo Danny Willett and Tommy Fleetwood begin the year in 50th and 51st on the world rankings, but they made big strides last year.

Danny had a huge breakthrough win at Sun City last month, while Tommy had a very consistent second half of the year.

Danny has already got his place at Augusta, but that will be the big aim for his friend in the first few months of the year.

These two will feel ready to start challenging some of the big English guns like Justin Rose and Lee Westwood on a regular basis.

Paul Casey has become the forgotten man over the last few years but he’s an extremely gifted golfer, who thinks he should be in the top 10.

He has cards for both tours again and he knows how to win as he showed when he shot 62-66 over the weekend in Holland in September. That sort of ability means he could easily get back to the top.

Obviously, the American college system churns out lots of fine players, but one young US player to watch out for is Brooks Koepka.

I was impressed with how he came over to Europe to play on the Challenge Tour and won four times, before he secured a big victory at the Turkish Open in November.

That makes him a proven winner and a more rounded golfer attributes that will stand him in great stead when he returns to the PGA Tour.

Few sports are as competitive as modern golf. If these players are working hard to reach the top, rest assured the ones there already will work harder to stay there.

And, of course, there is Tiger Woods. What a story it would be if he came back fit and firing from injury, competing against Rory and these young guns.

That would be the ideal scenario for an exciting year.
