Rory Mcilroy, from a historical double the players-master to new challenges to legend

In conquering Augusta Masters This week, Rory mcilroy He admitted that he was the world’s worst today. Masters is the third contest conquered in 2025After he did AT&T Pebble Beach ended at the beginning of February and, in particular, The championships of the playerswhere he was crowned in another playoff against the JJ span in the middle of -March.

Norwegian player won The two main contests at the beginning of the year, Together with the masters, logical, in a high -step -step, but also the players, the ‘fifth’ and the star event of the PGA tour, in great collection of its showcases. After the months of Scottie Scheffler’s dominance, Mcilroy claimed that his golf level was the best today.

It is never easy to get regularly in this sport, but mcilroy numbers place him at the height of the greatest. Beyond the basic fact of completing the Grand Slam And if the sixth story player to get it (after Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods), Mcilroy joined another selected list of the best start of the usual year.

Ever since the players launched in 1974, Only two players managed to link the double-masters-maskeds. The first is Tiger Woodschampion of both contests in the year 2001 To an act without equal. Noteworthy, something that has been seen only once for about fifty years, has been repeated in two consecutive: Scottie Scheffler reiterated the milestone in 2024 and Rory Mciroy only needed one year to repeat it.

The beginning of mcilroy 2025 was the best of his career. Never at this point has achieved three titles in the year and, even less, with the caliber conquered in this 2025. Perhaps that is why the question is now opened when Norwegian can maintain a state in a heavenly manner in a sport where it is not synonymous with success because of the great equality and the minimum margin of mistake they indicate in golf.
