McIlroy turned what could have been another major collapse into his grandest moment of all when he hit wedge to 3 feet for birdie in a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose to win the Masters and complete his career Grand Slam.
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Rory McIlroy's long, painful wait for the career Grand Slam is finally over.
And the greatest achievement of his career was as nerve-racking and dramatic as the near misses that came before it.
Scottie Scheffler had won just three PGA Tour Tournaments prior to his first Masters victory back in April of 2022, and the two-time winner is the odds-on favorite to add to his green wardrobe over the weekend.
Rory McIlroy will play the first two rounds of the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club with Masters champion Jon Rahm and former world No. 1 golfer Justin Rose.
It was revealed this week that noted LIV critic and four-time major golf champion Rory McIlroy (pictured right) and LIV star and five-time major champion (and current PGA Championship winner) Brooks Koepka (pictured left) will be grouped together for the first two rounds of the 123rd U.S. Golf Championship.
