Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy has won a major four times. He’s won the TOUR Championship three times. He’s won the PLAYERS Championship twice, including his playoff win over J.J. Spaun last month. But, there is one tournament that he hasn’t won and one needed to be golf’s sixth Career Grand Slam member – The Masters.

With Rory in arguably the best form he’s been in heading into the event at Augusta National, having won the aforementioned PLAYERS and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am already in 2025, some think that this is the year he joins Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods in the prestigious group of Grand Slam guys.

Rory McIlroy Masters Odds

As of Tuesday afternoon, Scottie Scheffler (+400) was the only player with lower odds than McIlroy (+650) to wear the coveted green jacket after 72 holes. Rory has been close before, as he has four top-five finishes, including a runner-up result in 2022. From 2014-18, McIlroy finished in the top 10 in five straight.

Now, though, he’s missed the cut in two of the last four years, with the second-place finish and last year’s tie for 22nd after making it to the weekend.
