Rory McIlroy defends Masters title

In a historic performance at Augusta National, Rory McIlroy has successfully defended his Masters crown.

After a rollercoaster final round that saw a five-shot lead narrow to one, McIlroy maintained his composure to join legends Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only repeat winners.

The victory marks his sixth major title and cements his status as the premier golfer of his generation.

An emotional McIlroy celebrated the win with his parents, who were present this year after missing his 2025 triumph.
