The former World No.1 was taken aback after seeing Tiger Woods' 15 Major trophies...
McIlroy On What He Learnt From Seeing Woods' Major Trophies
Rory viewed Woods' trophy cabinet in his family room at Tiger's Florida home, full of the American's 15 Major Championship crowns.
But missing from the trophy cabinet were another 67 PGA Tour titles, with McIlroy saying that Woods didn't know where they were.
"I think the circling them on the calendar is probably the best way to go," McIlroy said of targeting Major victories ahead of the 2021 Masters.
"I was thinking about this. So I went over to Tiger's house a few weeks ago to see him, and in his family room he's got his trophy cabinet and it's his 15 Major trophies.
"I said, "That's really cool. Where are all the others? [his PGA Tour trophies]"
"He said, "I don't know." I go, "What?" He said, "Yeah, my mom has some, and a few are in the office and a few are wherever."
"I was driving home, and I was thinking that's all he cared about [the Majors], all he cared about.
"So how easy that must have felt for him to win all the others.
"That was just always in my mind, he talked about these are the four weeks that matter.
"So the weeks that didn't matter, you know, he racked them up at a pretty fast clip.
"But I'm just thinking to myself, how easy must that have felt for him if all he cared about were four weeks a year.
"The other stuff must have been like practice.
"So that's a cool perspective to have, right.
"Yeah, that's all I could think about on the way home. And I was glad he was okay, too."
