McIlroy is making his first start since becoming just the sixth player in the history of the men's game to complete the career grand slam following his first victory at The Masters on 13 April. 

The 2025 Masters champion did not play in the $20m RBC Heritage last week and instead returned home to Northern Ireland to celebrate his win with his parents, Rosie and Gerry, who were unable to attend at Augusta National.

Lowry and McIlroy teamed up together in this event for the first ever time in 2024.

They got the job done after seeing off Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in a playoff.
