McIlroy wins 2025 Masters playoff for career Grand Slam
Rory McIlroy won the Masters Tournament on Sunday to complete the career grand slam. The Masters was the last piece of the puzzle for McIlroy as he becomes the sixth player in history to do it and the first since Tiger Woods won the 2000 PGA Championship.
McIlroy has had a chance to earn the career Grand Slam since 2014 when he won the British Open to win three legs of the major championships.
But since 2015, he’s had a series of setbacks and heartbreaks at Augusta National, either self-destructing or other players catching fire and vaulting past him on the leaderboard.
But McIlroy is now a part of the most exclusive club in golf and the first to enter since Tiger Woods won the British Open at St. Andrews in 2000.
He is also the first European player to win the career Slam. McIlroy is a native of Northern Ireland. —Yahoo Sports
