The final round of the 2025 Masters is shaping up to be an unforgettable event, featuring two of the biggest stars in golf going head-to-head in the ultimate pairing. With a coveted green jacket on the line, this match could also lead to one golfer's potential immortality in the sport. Rory McIlroy, who is pursuing the elusive career grand slam for the 11th time, enters Sunday with a two-shot lead. This marks his first 54-hole lead at Augusta National since his dramatic collapse in 2011.
McIlroy will face Bryson DeChambeau, who has had his share of struggles during the final rounds of the Masters in previous years. Notably, DeChambeau triumphed over McIlroy during the final round of last year's U.S. Open at Pinehurst, adding an extra layer of intensity to this match-up. With revenge and history on his mind, McIlroy is determined to secure his place in golfing history by finally claiming the green jacket at 2:30 p.m. ET.
As the anticipation builds for this electric showdown, the chase group behind the final pairing will need something extraordinary to stay in contention for the green jacket on the back nine. Corey Conners is currently the closest competitor, sitting four shots behind McIlroy, while Patrick Reed and Ludvig Åberg trail by six strokes. Conners and Reed will compete in the penultimate pairing, while Åberg will be paired with Jason Day at 2:10 p.m.
The reigning champion, Scottie Scheffler, finds himself seven shots back and will be playing alongside Shane Lowry at 2 p.m. Scheffler has a reputation for creating magic at the Masters and will be eager to make a final push for his third green jacket.
