Five-time major champion, and career grand slam winner, and 2013 Australian Open champion, Rory McIlroy has today confirmed that he will be returning to compete for a second Stonehaven Cup in 2025 at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club.

McIlroy's back-to-back visits in 2013 and 2014 were the last time he graced our shores, and so we thought it would be a great opportunity to dig through our archives.

Enjoy taking a trip down memory lane...
