Rory McIlroy triumphed at the 2026 Masters Tournament, held at Augusta National Golf Course on April 12, finishing at 12-under par. Entering the final round tied for first with Cameron Young, McIlroy faced early challenges with a double-bogey and bogey on the first six holes. However, he regained momentum with two birdies on the back nine, despite a tense moment on Hole 16 and a bogey on the final hole. His performance secured a one-stroke victory over Scottie Scheffler, marking McIlroy's second consecutive Masters win. With this achievement, he becomes only the fourth golfer to repeat as Masters champion, joining legends like Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, and Jack Nicklaus. The next PGA Tour event is the RBC Heritage, scheduled for April 16-19 in Hilton Head, South Carolina, with a total purse of $20 million.
