The Masters 2026 key info
The Masters an historic and remarkable one last year as Rory McIlroy completed the career grand slam after finally sealing the Green Jacket. McIlroy played a rollercoaster final round, highlighted by birdies at 15 and 17, to match Justin Rose at 11-under-par before defeating him on the 1st extra hole with a birdie.
