Sports Personality of the Year - Rory McIlroy

Name: Rory McIlroy

Sport: Golf

Key achievement: Northern Irishman achieved golfing immortality in April by completing the career Grand Slam with his first Masters title at Augusta National.

He then played a key role in Europe's first Ryder Cup win in the United States since 2012, contributing three-and-a-half points to his team's triumph.

Key achievement: Captain Luke Donald led the Europeans to a first win on American soil since 2012 with a 15-13 triumph in New York.

Coach of the Year - Sarina Wiegman

Name: Sarina Wiegman

England's success led to Wiegman being named women's coach of the year at the 2025 Ballon d'Or awards, while she also won the women's coach prize at the Fifa Best Awards for a record fifth time.

In doing so, he set yet another world record of 6.30m - his fourth of this year alone - and the 14th of his remarkable career.

He also retained his indoor world title - meaning he has won eight successive golds in major global competitions - and won all 16 of his events to become the first male pole vaulter in modern history to go undefeated for two successive years.

Lifetime Achievement award - Thierry Henry

On 29 July 2024, three young girls - Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and six-year-old Bebe King - were killed during an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in Southport.

In April this year, Sergio Aguiar and David Stancombe, the fathers of Alice and Elsie, ran the London Marathon in their memory.

Sergio has since run marathons in Berlin, Chicago and New York as he aims to complete the six World Marathon Majors to raise money for a foundation set up in his daughter's name.
