Mcllroy to play less after 'hitting a wall'

Rory McIlroy admitted that a busy schedule had him crawling to the finishing line in 2024 and said that he might reduce his commitments next season by as many as nine tournaments.

"I feel like the tournaments came thick and fast, and obviously with the Olympics thrown in there as well this year, it sort of condensed everything a bit," said the Northern Irishman, who finished in a tie for ninth at the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta on Sept 1.

Despite the admittedly exhausting season, the four-time Major winner still ended with a flourish, shooting a five-under 66 in the final round.

The 35-year-old finished at 16under 272 for the tournament, tied with Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and Ireland's Shane Lowry, his pal.
