History was made at Augusta National as the 2026 Masters delivered a moment that fans will never forget
Rory McIlroy secured back to back Masters titles, becoming the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to achieve the feat. In doing so, he joins an exclusive group of only four players in the tournament’s history to win consecutive green jackets.
The 2026 Masters Tournament
The 2026 Masters Tournament proved to be a tightly contested battle from start to finish. Rory McIlroy edged out Scottie Scheffler by just one stroke, finishing at 12-under par to secure his second green jacket and a $4.5 million prize. With only a single shot separating the top two, the tournament delivered drama throughout and kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Final day drama looked set to change the outcome early on, as McIlroy suffered a double bogey that briefly saw him lose the lead. However, his composure under pressure proved decisive. Responding when it mattered most, he produced crucial birdies down the stretch to regain control and ultimately finish one shot clear.
Scheffler pushed him all the way with a relentless performance but fell just short of forcing a playoff. Behind them, the leaderboard remained incredibly tight, with three players tied for third at 10-under par, leaving just two strokes separating the top five.
With tournaments such as the BMW PGA Championship and British Masters fast approaching, attention now turns to what comes next. Will we see another dramatic finish, or can Scheffler go one better?
