Quick Recap: The 89th Masters

10 years, 8 months, and 4 days.

That’s how long Rory McIlroy’s major championship drought lasted.

That’s a decade of pressure. A decade of heartbreak. A decade of people writing him off—maybe even Rory himself, at times.

But to his credit, he kept showing up. He kept putting himself in the fight, giving himself a chance to land the knockout punch.

He came up short. Again and again. The collapse at Augusta in 2011. The missed short putts down the stretch at last year’s U.S. Open. Even this week, he made four double bogeys at The Masters.

Still, he kept coming back.

10 years, 8 months, 4 days—and one final playoff hole against Justin Rose.

Three feet to immortality. One putt for the green jacket.

This time, he made it count.

We got to watch it all—the weight slide off his shoulders, the release of a decade’s worth of emotion, and the most gifted player of his generation finally make history.

Rory McIlroy is your 2025 Masters Champion.

He’s got his green jacket. He’s completed the career Grand Slam. And he’s just the sixth man in history to do it.

Oh, and yes—he was our pre-tournament pick to win. That’s Caddyshanks’ third outright winner of the 2025 season. Not too shabby.

By the way… the PGA Championship? It’s at Quail Hollow. A place Rory’s already won four times.

Way Too Early Predictions:

PGA Championship: Rory McIlroy

U.S. Open: Scottie Scheffler

The Open: Shane Lowry or Justin Rose

Ryder Cup: USA better get it going, because the Europeans are coming into Bethpage Black on fire.
