Rory McIlroy Wins Back-to-Back Masters

McIlroy's triumph cements his place among the all-time greats of the sport, with experts now debating his position as the UK's greatest-ever sportsperson.

The victory was a family affair, with his parents Gerry and Rosie joining his wife Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy on the 18th green.

While the win earned him a $4.5 million prize, he is set to lose nearly half of that to the taxman.

McIlroy now looks toward a potential three-peat, a feat never before achieved in Masters history.
