Rory McIlroy has 30 PGA Tour titles to his name, including six major championship victories.
Two of his major wins came over the past two seasons at The Masters as he became only the fourth player in history to defend his crown at Augusta National.
As we know, he also became only the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam with his Masters win in 2025.
Meanwhile, Wyndham Clark has six PGA Tour wins to his name including two US Open titles, and it’s fair to say that he isn’t in the same league as Rory McIlroy.
Who will end up with more career major wins, Blades or Koivun?
McIlroy, 37, is now at the stage of his career where all he is focused on is cementing his legacy as one of the greatest golfers ever to have graced the game.
But what means more to the Northern Irishman: the occasional major championship, or accumulating PGA Tour wins?
Wyndham Clark opens up on conversation with Rory McIlroy’s caddie
Clark made an appearance on Dan Rapaport’s YouTube channel and discussed a wide range of topics.
The two-time US Open champion explained how important winning majors is, and he revealed how Harry Diamond responded when he asked him whether he’d prefer McIlroy to win 15 more PGA Tour titles or just one Masters trophy.

“You know, I asked this question to Rory once when we were playing. Actually, no, it was to Harry, his caddie,“ Clark revealed.
“I said, ‘Harry, would you take two more FedEx Cup championships and total of 15 more wins from now until the end of his career, or win The Masters. He’s like, ‘Dude, it’s not even close. Even if he won 30 more times, we just want that Masters trophy.“
That just goes to show how important major championships are to Rory McIlroy.
In fairness to Clark, he gave a similar answer, explaining that he would take one major win over 10 PGA Tour titles if they were offered to him.
However, he did say that 20 PGA Tour wins would be enough to make him change his answer, unless the one major championship is The Masters.
Of course, McIlroy already has two Masters titles to his name, but it remains to be seen whether Clark is ever able to win a green jacket.
