Rory McIlroy and the Masters. The Masters and Rory McIlroy. What a complicated relationship.
We all remember 2011, when an abysmal drive off the 10th tee led to one of the biggest meltdowns in golf history. Charl Schwartzel can thank McIlroy for his green jacket.
The Northern Ireland product has been in the mix at Augusta National several times throughout his illustrious career, including being a member of the final group with Patrick Reed in 2018 (Reed went on to win).
If the four-time major champion were to slip on the green jacket this year, he would join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods as the only golfers in history to win all four major championships.
