The Masters remains the only major Rory McIlroy has yet to conquer throughout his illustrious career, but his pre-tournament chatter has been brimming with confidence, in what he believes could be his best shot yet at completing a career Grand Slam. With the Irishman listed as the joint-favourite alongside current title holder Scottie Scheffler, it is worth taking a look back at how he has fared at Augusta down the years as well run you through a comprehensive Rory McIlroy career record list.
Rory McIlroy Major Wins & Career Record
Along with Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, Rory McIlroy became one of three players to win four majors by the time he turned 25, but another title in any of the Tour’s most prestigious tournaments has eluded him since.
2014 was the last time the now-33-year-old triumphed at a major, winning both the PGA and the Open that season, but now after a mid-career slump that had many questioning his longevity in the sport, he is firmly back in contention for this year’s Masters.
He was pipped at the finish line in 2022 by eventual green jacket recipient Scottie Scheffler, eventually losing by three strokes, but he has been handed the same price as the American in this year’s outright betting across sportsbooks. Should he finally conquer Augusta, he has the potential to complete a career Grand Slam, which only five men (Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods) have ever achieved.
