Golf superstar Rory McIlroy, has won BBC Sports Personality of the Year, becoming just the third golfer to win the award. The 36-year-old McIlroy joined golfing royalty when he won the Masters in April, completing the career Grand Slam and a Ryder Cup. McIlroy joins Dai Rees (1957) and Nick Faldo (1989) as the only golfers to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. England's Women's Rugby World Cup winner Ellie Kildunne finished second to McIlroy.
"Wow. First of all, I would like to congratulate all of the other finalists. I know how much hard work and dedication it takes, so it is a pleasure to just be in this room, McIlroy said in his acceptance speech. I feel truly honored to just be a part of it; 2025 has been the year I made my dreams come true. From Augusta to the Ryder Cup and everything in between. It's the year dreams are made of." Shortly before McIlroy was announced as the winner, the European Ryder Cup Team was awarded Team of the Year by a fan vote. Wow Thank you for everybody that voted for us, posted Justin Rose, McIlroy's fellow European Ryder Cup team member, on social media. What a night for @DPWorldTour and golf.
