Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff, ending an 11-year major championship drought with his fifth major win. Despite a topsy-turvy final round, McIlroy held on for the victory, earning $4.2 million and his first major win since 2014. He had previously finished second at the Masters in 2022. McIlroy started the day with a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau, but found himself tied with Justin Rose after 15 holes. In the playoff, McIlroy birdied the 18th hole while Rose made par, securing the win. Despite a shaky start with a double bogey, McIlroy managed to regain the lead with birdies on the 15th and 17th holes. This victory marks a redemption for McIlroy, who famously collapsed at the 2011 Masters after starting the final round with a four-shot lead. The next major tournament in golf will be the PGA Championship starting on May 15 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Quail Hollow Club. It was a dramatic finish for McIlroy, who overcame a strong challenge from Rose and secured a long-awaited major championship win.
