The 2025 Masters Tournament delivered all the drama, tradition, and excellence that golf fans around the world have come to expect from Augusta National. Played from April 10–13, this year’s edition was highlighted by stellar play, emotional moments, and a historic finish.
Rory McIlroy finally completed his career Grand Slam, capturing the elusive green jacket after years of near-misses. He outlasted Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff, securing victory with a birdie on the first extra hole. McIlroy’s win not only placed him in golf’s most exclusive club but also ended an 11-year drought since his last major championship title.
