Rory McIlroy isn’t motivated by Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods at the moment.
He is driven to separate himself from his generation while thinking he just might retire by the time he’s 40.
“I've already had an eight-year career in golf,” McIlroy told the BBC Sport in a wide-ranging interview this week. “Twenty-five years should be enough to help me achieve what I want to. If there comes a time when I feel I can't win or give it my best I'd very happily hang up the sticks and do something else.
