Rory McIlroy remained satisfied after the Australian Open at QMS. The experienced Irish golfer believes this event deserves more star players. However, he was not satisfied with the calendar, as the tournaments timing posed a problem.
He believes that the organizers of the tournament must think carefully and reorganize the calendar, because this could attract a lot of quality golfers, and also allow for a rest period.
I've been excited to come back down here for a while, it's been over 10 years since I played in the Australian Open, McIlroy said, as quoted by Golf Magic.
This is a golf tournament that has got so much potential and I think it showed a little bit of that this week. There's still a ways to go.

I would love to have a few more players come down and play. But it's hard. There's three tournaments going on in the schedule this week. There needs to be conversations had with people much more important than me that set the schedules and do all that sort of stuff. Hopefully the Australian Open can find a date that accommodates everyone and everyone can at least have the option to come down and play.
The Australian Open dates back to 1964 and attracts the attention of a large number of golfers around the world.
Danish player Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen won his first DP World Tour title at the Australian Open at -5, one stroke ahead of Cameron Smith. Fans hope that Rory will participate in this tournament next year, and McIlroy himself said at the end that he is now looking forward to a little break, considering the tough schedule during the summer and throughout the year.

A year to remember
The popular golfer excelled at the Masters this year and thus completed the career Grand Slam, a feat he had been waiting for a long time. In addition, winning the Ryder Cup with the European team further made his season successful, and there is no doubt that Rory McIlroy will always remember 2025, the year in which he achieved probably the greatest success of his career.
