Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff against Justin Rose, earning his fifth major championship and his first since 2014. McIlroy entered the final round with a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau but found himself tied with Rose after 15 holes. Despite a bogey on the 18th hole, McIlroy was able to secure a birdie in the playoff to clinch the victory. Rose shot a final-round 66 to tie McIlroy at 11 under par, despite starting seven strokes behind. McIlroy had a rough start with a double bogey on the first hole, but recovered with birdies to regain the lead. This win ends an 11-year major championship drought for McIlroy, who had not won a major since 2014. McIlroy will take home $4.2 million as the winner of the Masters, while Rose earned $2.268 million for his second-place finish. The PGA Championship is the next major tournament on the schedule, beginning on May 15 at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.
