The 2025 Masters has reached a thrilling conclusion this Sunday at the iconic Augusta National Golf Club. This year's tournament is proving to be one of the most star-studded events in its history, showcasing an impressive final-round leaderboard filled with former Masters champions, multi-time major titleholders, and some of the sport’s most beloved golfers. They are all vying for the coveted green jacket, a staggering $4.2 million winner's share from the $21 million total purse, and, for one player, the chance at golf immortality.
The spotlight is firmly on Rory McIlroy, who has secured a 54-hole lead for the first time in a major tournament since 2014, and at the Masters since 2011. McIlroy, who has remained at four major victories since his last win at the 2014 PGA Championship, is determined to break his streak of 0-38 in major opportunities since that victory. Augusta National has been particularly challenging for him, as he has failed to convert in his last 10 attempts, all while the prospect of a career grand slam looms over him. The last golfer to achieve this remarkable feat was Tiger Woods in 2000, making McIlroy's potential triumph all the more significant.
However, McIlroy will face tough competition from several skilled contenders. Bryson DeChambeau has made a strong move, sinking birdies late in his third round and positioning himself just two strokes behind McIlroy as they enter the final pairing. Other notable players include 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed, 2024 runner-up Ludvig Åberg, and reigning two-time Masters winner Scottie Scheffler, all hovering around six to seven shots behind the leader. Additionally, Corey Conners, a talented Canadian golfer with two Texas Open victories, is also looking to capitalize on his best major performance to date.
