Rory McIlroy Wins Back-to-Back Masters

McIlroy's victory was marked by a clinical performance on the final day, overcoming a series of challengers at Augusta National.

The win also delivered a massive financial windfall for his caddie, Harry Diamond, who has been credited with transforming McIlroy's mental approach.

However, the champion is set to lose nearly half of his $4.5 million prize money to tax authorities.

Despite the triumph, the tournament's television coverage faced criticism for showing delayed shots rather than live action.
