Rory McIlroy put on his first Masters green jacket in 2025 after dramatically winning the tournament.
Rory McIlroy put on his first Masters green jacket in 2025 after dramatically winning the tournament . McIlroy will have the opportunity to join an exclusive club, becoming one of four golfers to win back-to-back Masters Tournaments. He would join Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Tiger Woods (2001-02).
In order to reach the feat, he will have to overcome contenders such as Cameron Young and Sam Burns. McIlroy made a strong case to accomplish the feat after returning to Augusta National Golf Course this week. He set the record for largest 36-hole lead in the tournament's history .
He was 7-under par 65, moving to 12-under through the first two rounds of the tournament. McIlroy struggled on Saturday, producing a double-bogey at the No. 11 hole and the following miscues allowed Young to tie him the top of the leaderboard.
But McIlroy learned last year how to keep his composure and grind out a Masters victory. Can he repeat the feat Sunday, April 12 and don his second green jacket? Perhaps, he can take inspiration from his victory in 2025.
