The majors will continue to come thick and fast with the world’s best heading to Oakmont for the US Open from 12-15 June.
With the Open Championship looming at Portrush five weeks later, one can only imagine their excitement there would be at the famed Pittsburgh layout if McIlroy was to turn up there having added the US PGA title to his unforgettable Masters triumph.
McIlroy has already shown he has the game to win a US Open with his eight-shot victory at Congressional in 2011 coming only a couple of months after his final-round collapse at the Masters.
When the US Open was last staged at Oakmont in 2016, McIlroy missed the halfway cut by two shots after a closing double bogey as Dustin Johnson went on to clinch his first major, with second and third-round leader Lowry among a trio filling the runners-up shot three off the pace.
