The Masters LIVE: Rory McIlroy wins The Masters in playoff to capture career grand slam
The Masters 2025: Rory McIlroy defeats Justin Rose in a playoff to become the sixth player in the modern era to capture the career grand slam.
Rory McIlroy has won The Masters to become the sixth player in the modern era to capture the career grand slam.
McIlroy, 35, defeated his European Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose, 44, with a birdie on the first extra hole at famed Augusta National.
The World No.2 surged into a four-shot lead with eight holes to play but he threw that away with a bogey on 11 and double on 13.
Another bogey followed at 14, and incredibly McIlroy had fallen one shot behind Rose at the time.
In a ding-dong battle with the Englishman over the closing holes, McIlroy nosed ahead with birdies on 15 and 17.
But McIlroy then squandered a one-shot lead down the 72nd hole with a bogey and it saw him enter a playoff with Rose.
Both players found the short grass down the first extra hole, the par-4 18th.
Rose stuck his approach shot from 154 yards to 15 feet, but McIlroy took dead aim and stuffed his wedge into four feet.
After Rose missed on the low side, McIlroy stepped in and tucked away the birdie putt to achieve golf immortality.
McIlroy was immediately reduced to tears as he fell to his knees on Georgia's hallowed turf.
He was then hugged by his caddie and best mate Harry Diamond, before being greeted by his wife Erica and daughter Poppy for hugs and kisses.
McIlroy now joins golf legends Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in completing the career grand slam.
The victory marks Mcilroy's fifth career major title and his first since the 2014 U.S. PGA.
It's also McIlroy's third win of the 2025 season.
McIlroy takes home a record first prize of $4.2m for winning the 2025 Masters.

JUST STOP IT RORY!
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (7*)
What have we just witnessed? Bryson, from the middle of the fairway, finds the bunker.
Meanwhile, McIlroy is in real trouble but takes an almighty lash at his golf ball.
AND IT LANDS SIX FEET FROM THE PIN.
Rory is cracking up as he walks down the fairway...

Big par save from Rose
Rose -7 (9)
Justin turns in 2-under courtesy of a huge par save at the 9th.
He's not done yet.
21:01
Trouble off the tee for Rory
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (7*)
Trouble for Rory off the tee at the 7th. He decides to take a 3-wood and misses left and is among the trees.
DeChambeau, sensibly, opts for an iron and has found the short stuff.
Another swing incoming?
20:57
No change at the top
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (6)
Easy pars for the final group at the 6th.

Scottie grabs his second birdie in a row and now trails by five.
20:56
Rose birdie
Rose -7 (8)
Justin Rose hits a beautiful 3-wood around the trees at the 8th and almost hits the pin.
He doesn't find the eagle but it's an easy birdie.
20:50
Bryson won't let up
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (6*)
Rory hates his tee shot at the par-3 6th. His towering iron shot finds the heart of the green but trickles onto the fringe. It's okay. Should make a three.
DeChambeau is closer, though...
20:49
Two pars for for the final group
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (5)
Huge roars for Rory as he saves par at the 5th. Bryson answers with a par of his own after racing his birdie attempt well past.

I can't keep up. Birdies everywhere.
20:40
Scheffler birdie
Scheffler -6 (7)
LOL. You cannot count this man out, can you?
Two-time Masters champ Scottie Scheffler picks up another birdie...
20:39
Rory doesn't know what to do here...
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (5*)
Long chat between Rory and his caddie Harry.
He's got about 180 yards to the green and a small gap.
THWACK! Rory somehow manages to find the back edge of the green which is a cracking effort from there.
DeChambeau has got a great look at birdie after a cracking approach...
20:34
Shane Lowry will not win The Masters
Scheffler -5, Lowry -2 (6)
Scheffler manages to bounce back with a birdie at the 5th after dropping a stroke at the 4th.
Shane Lowry, however, will not win the green jacket.
The former Open champ made double bogey at the 5th and has just dropped another stroke.
20:32
THREE-SHOT LEAD FOR RORY MCILROY!
McIlroy -12, DeChambeau -9 (5*)
Boom. Rory's birdie putt just about finds the left edge and he'll walk to the 5th tee with a three-shot lead.
But his tee shot at the next is abysmal. Huge shouts of 'fore'.
Bryson responds with a beauty.
20:29
Back-to-back bogeys for the content king
DeChambeau -9 (4)
Bryson misses!
Can Rory capitalise?
20:28
Jason Day is not out of this
Aberg -7 Day-6 (5)
The Australian former World No.1 picks up a welcome birdie at the 5th after holing out from about 30 feet!
20:27
Work to do for Bryson
DeChambeau -10 (4*)
Bryson elects to putt from the fringe. Initially, it looks as though he gets his effort all wrong but his golf ball slowly starts to pick up pace and work its way back towards the pin.
He still has the honour though and will face about 12 feet for par.
20:24
Rose sets up a great opportunity at the 7th
Rose -5 (7*)
Fabulous approach by Rosey at the 7th and he should get back to 6-under.
20:22
McIlroy has the honour at the 4th...
Huge roar from the patrons as Rory McIlroy makes his way to the 4th tee.
He opts for a 4-iron at the long par-3.
What can he muster? It's an absolute beauty. He'll have about 12 feet for birdie.
Butch Harmon tells Sky Sports viewers: "My word, that's a golf shot."
What can Bryson muster? He tugs his left and will need all of his skills to muster a par...
20:19
Rory McIlroy leads by one!
DeChambeau -10 (3)
My word. We have another change at the top of the leaderboard.
I don't know about you, but my heart cannot take these stress levels.
DeChambeau's par putt just misses the left edge.
20:16
Welcome to the final round of the 2025 Masters, Rory!
McIlroy -11 (3)
Boom. HUGE cheers. McIlroy finds a birdie.
Bryson has raced his birdie putt about 10 feet past...

20:13
Birdie chance for Rory
McIlroy -10, DeChambeau -11 (3*)
DeChambeau and McIlroy are safely aboard the green at the 3rd. McIlroy has the better look at birdie.
Can he settle some nerves?
20:12
Scottie bogey!
Scheffler -4, Lowry -5 (4)
Scheffler's hopes of winning The Masters are fading quickly.
He finds the sand at the 4th and can't salvage a par from 14 feet.
