The 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National had one of the most unforgettable moments in golf history. Rory McIlroy was finally able to win the green jacket to complete his career Grand Slam. After 11 years without a significant win, McIlroy won in a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose, finishing at 11-under par. His victory places him among other golf legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as one of only six players to achieve the Grand Slam. The final round was filled with lots of emotion and resilience, which was seen by McIlroy’s clutch birdie on the 18th hole of the playoff. Tiger Woods, sidelined with an injury, congratulated McIlroy, calling the win a testament to perseverance and greatness. For golf fans—and aspiring sportswriters—this Masters wasn’t just a tournament; it was a historic chapter in the sport’s legacy.
