Rory McIlroy has dominated this season and has really cemented his place as one of the best golfers in the world. The 36-year-old has many bright moments during the season, and certainly winning the Masters as well as the Ryder Cup on away soil will be moments he will never forget.
The 36-year-old Northern Irish golfer has been striving for a career Grand Slam for years, and this year seemed to be a fateful one for him.
This is also the reason why Rory McIlroy is a candidate to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
Most expect that he will win this award, and one of the biggest rivals, at least when it comes to this award, is Lando Norris.
Among the candidates is the young darts phenomenon Luke Littler, who surprised the public with his statements, saying that Rory McIlroy has no real chance of winning the award. Littler expects Lando Norris to ultimately win this prestigious award.

Littler has also been dominant this year and, at just 18 years old, is currently ranked number one in the world.
Luke answered the reporter's question about whether he would appear at the ceremony, saying that he would not go, feelingthat he has no chance of winningsuch an award.
Littler believes that only the top 3 candidates will be present at the ceremony, i.e. the three candidates who have the best odds of winning according to bookmakers.
They are currently Lando Norris, Rory McIlroy and Chloe Kelly.
Rory McIlroy is certainly hoping for this prestigious award, but he is aware that he has fierce competition and that much is still uncertain.
In an interview with the media, Rory McIlroy pointed out that he still does not know who will win this award, but that if he really wins it, it will be a huge honor for him and an additional confirmation that he has made an incredible success in the world of golf in 2025.
