Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff against Justin Rose, earning his fifth major championship, his first since 2014. McIlroy entered the final round with a two-shot lead but found himself tied with Rose after 15 holes, ultimately needing a playoff to secure the victory. Rose made an impressive comeback with a final-round 66, finishing tied with McIlroy despite starting seven strokes behind. McIlroy overcame a shaky start and a late bogey on the 18th hole to ultimately secure the win with a birdie in the playoff. This victory marks the end of an 11-year major championship drought for McIlroy, who had not won a major tournament since 2014. McIlroy takes home $4.2 million as the winner, with Rose earning $2.268 million for his second-place finish. The PGA Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, will be the next major tournament in golf starting on May 15.
