Rory McIlroy, a 35-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland, won the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Course, claiming his first green jacket. He is now looking to make history by winning back-to-back titles, a feat accomplished by only three golfers: Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods. McIlroy set a record for the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history, finishing the first two rounds at 12-under par. However, he faced challenges in the final round, including a double-bogey on the 11th hole, which allowed Justin Rose to tie him at the top. The two ended the tournament tied at 11-under 277, leading to a sudden-death playoff where McIlroy secured victory with a four-foot birdie putt. This win made him the sixth golfer to complete the career Grand Slam, a milestone last achieved by Tiger Woods in 2000.
