Rory Mcllroy Is Hoping To Win A Major This Year

World number one Rory Mcllroy is hoping the best `for himself at major events as he predicted he will win at least one major this year. Potentially that will be his first since 2014.

The Irish golfer will be participating at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and will be representing his native country, Northern Ireland. He wrapped up last season with WGC-HSBC Champions at the Seshan International in Shanghai, China.

Speaking to BBC Sport NI, the 30-year-old recalled making a prediction in 2013 that he would win two majors which he did the following year. That antecedent gave him the confidence of delivering on his words as he says, "So I am predicting I will win at least one."

He added, "The fact that I am still up there giving myself a chance week in week out, playing some of the best golf of my career gives me a lot of confidence this season."
