Soren Kjeldsen recently addressed comments made by Rory McIlroy regarding his potential retirement. The Danish golfer, who has played on the European Tour and won four events on the circuit, is competing in the PGA Tour Champions Q-School Final Stage this week. After three impressive rounds, Kjeldsen has taken the lead and is on the verge of securing his PGA Tour Champions card for the 2025 season.
Following the third round, Kjeldsen shared a story about how earlier this year, during the time he was playing in the first stage of Q-School, someone mentioned his possible retirement to Rory McIlroy. The Northern Irish golfer promptly agreed, saying that it might be time for the 49-year-old to step away from the game. Reflecting on this, Kjeldsen said:
"I was laughing the other day because Rory (McIlroy) was you know, Somebody told Rory that I'd finished on DP World Tour and Rory said like, 'It's about time that he puts his feet up and relax.' and you know at the time, I was in Mississippi grinding away at the first stage. So, yeah, it's still super important for me. You know, I'd love to play on this tour, so yeah, its a big thing.
