Rory McIlroy Wins Masters 2025, Makes Golf History as Sixth Player to Complete Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy has joined an elite group of golfers after winning The Masters for the first time!

The 35-year-old Irish golfer defeated Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff to win the Masters on Sunday (April 13) at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga.

The Masters is the only one of the four major tournaments in golf that uses a sudden-death format to determine a winner. The two finalists alternated the 18th and 10th holes until a winner was determined. It only took one hole for Rory to win!
