McIlroy completes career Grand Slam

By Chris Dinsdale

April 14, 2025 - Rory McIlroy achieved golfing immortality at Augusta National, beating Justin Rose in a dramatic sudden-death play-off to claim the career Grand Slam -- winning all four golf majors.

Rory McIlroy is only the sixth man -- and first European -- to complete the career Grand Slam. U.S. Masters title -- his fifth overall -- ends an 11-year drought for a major tournament win, which is the joint longest gap between major titles in golf.

Augusta National Golf Club stages the U.S. Masters tournament each year. Augusta is one of the world’s most beautiful and challenging courses, with undulating greens and sprawling bunkers to test the world’s best golfers.
