Rory McIlroy Defends Masters Title

Rory McIlroy Defends Masters Title

Rory McIlroy's historic victory at the 2026 Masters has cemented his status as one of golf's all-time greats.

The world number two overcame a nerve-wracking Sunday charge from Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Young to claim his sixth major championship.

McIlroy credited his preparation at his 'home course' Augusta and advice from Jack Nicklaus for his success.

The emotional win was shared with his parents, Gerry and Rosie, who were present to witness his repeat triumph.
