Rory McIlroy Wins 89th Masters in Playoff Against Justin Rose, Completes Career Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy has won the 89th Masters Tournament, securing his first Masters title and completing the career Grand Slam. The victory came after a dramatic playoff against Justin Rose at the 89th Masters Tournament, marking McIlroy's fifth major championship and his first since 2014. McIlroy's triumph at Augusta National ended an 11-year drought for a major championship. The Northern Irish golfer, who had previously finished second at the Masters in 2022, clinched the win on the first playoff hole with a birdie, while Rose settled for par. The Masters victory not only earned McIlroy a green jacket but also a prize of $4.2 million. This achievement adds to his previous major wins at the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, and the British Open, making him the sixth golfer to achieve the career Grand Slam.
