Rory McIlroy wins 2025 Masters Tournament, completes Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy had been chasing the Grand Slam in his career for over a decade. Now, he has finally achieved that with his first-ever win at Augusta National.

McIlroy has won The Masters in 2025 in earning his green jacket in his 17th time playing the course. It’ll be his 29th career win, and third in total this season, and fifth victory at a major, which will give him that accomplishment of the Grand Slam.

McIlroy missed what would’ve been a winning putt on No. 18 to finish his fourth round at 73 (+1). That set up a playoff between he and Justin Rose both at -11 for the tournament. He’d go on to win that playoff, though, coming off a second shot back on No. 18 that set up the winning putt within feet of the hole. With that, McIlroy birdied the final hole and fell to his knees in pure emotion for the career achievement.

McIlroy would build this win off of a pair of great showings at -6 on Friday and Saturday after shooting par in the opening round on Thursday. That set him up with a matchup with Bryson Dechambeau, who faded on the second nine, with Rose, Patrick Reed, and Scottie Scheffler also looking to contend as the afternoon unfolded. However, McIlroy, despite three bogeys and a double bogey on the second nine himself, was able to hold on by the end and win The Masters.
