Rory McIlroy`s dramatic victory at the 2025 Masters completes his career Grand Slam, defeating Justin Rose in a playoff.

Rory McIlroy has etched his name into golfing history by winning the 2025 Masters Tournament, achieving a career Grand Slam in a thrilling finale. The Northern Irishman triumphed over Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff after both players finished the tournament at 12 under par.

The final round was nothing short of dramatic, as McIlroy began with a two-shot lead but stumbled with a bogey on the 72nd hole, which led to the playoff. Rose showcased an impressive performance, carding 10 birdies to set the clubhouse target and push McIlroy to the brink. However, McIlroy regained his composure on the first playoff hole, sinking a crucial birdie putt to secure his first Masters title.

This victory makes McIlroy the sixth golfer in history to achieve the career Grand Slam and the first European to do so. Other notable performances included Patrick Reed finishing in third place and defending champion Scottie Scheffler taking fourth. The excitement continues as the next major event, the PGA Championship, is set to take place at Quail Hollow Club from May 15-18. For more details, visit Sky Sports Golf and The Telegraph.
