Rory McIlroy's future and plans are always of public interest. Rory McIlroy is labeled by many as the best in the world, but the presence of Scottie Scheffler raises pessimism about whether it is really so. In any case, Rory is someone who attracts the most attention, and his future is always an interesting topic.

The 35-year-old golfer enters this season with huge ambitions, wanting to win the Majors after many years. Of course, the emphasis will be on the Masters, the only Major he is missing.
Before the start of the Players Championship, reporters asked interesting questions to the Northern Irishman, and a particularly interesting one was: Does McIlroy plan to play on the PGA Tour after he turns 50 years old.
Rory replied, "Absolutely not."
It's a bit strange to even be talking about the end of his career on the PGA Tour, when we still remember his first steps on the PGA Tour, and the reactions he caused with his phenomenal performances. Still, Rory is the best indicator of the speed of time, but there is still a long way to go before the end of his story on the most prestigious Tour.

In the continuation of the interview, the famous golfer revealed his ambitions are for the future.
I think [Ill move on] when Ive achieved everything I want to achieve in the game and I get to the point where I dont think I can maybe do that anymore, -he said, as quoted by Gulf News.
Id also like to walk away with a little bit left in the tank. I dont want to be out there embarrassing myself. Id like to walk away maybe a little before I should, put it that way.
Theres always one more, but thats OK. I think if you can come to terms with that and walk away on your own terms, then thats a good thing.
Rory McIlroy on playing on the Champions Tour
Reporters were interested in whether Rory plans to play on the Champions Tour, but it seems that the 35-year-old is not open to such an option. The Northern golfer does not see himself as a 50-year-old who will play golf and compete in tournaments.

He has a quite different views regarding his future.
Absolutely not, he said.
I will not play Champions Tour golf. Look, Ive said a lot of absolutes in my time that Ive walked back, but I do not envision playing Champions Tour golf. Something has gone terribly wrong if I have to compete at golf at 50.
