Here’s the latest on Rory McIlroy and his 2025 Masters run.
- McIlroy won the 2025 Masters at Augusta National, completing the career Grand Slam. This ended his long wait for a green jacket and marked a historic milestone in his major career.[1][3]
- He entered the tournament with strong form, including wins at Pebble Beach and The Players Championship earlier in 2025, which positioned him as a favorite for Augusta.[4][1]

If you’d like, I can pull more specifics about his final-round score, key turning holes, and how he compared to the field across the weekend, or provide a quick recap of the Masters 2025 implications for his major ambitions this year.
