Rory McIlroy will be eyeing glory at The Masters as he takes part in his 17th major tournament at Augusta.
The golf superstar is set to take to the iconic course and try to pull off a victory that has eluded him for so long.
The 35-year-old returns to Georgia in fine form.
He won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in early February before claiming his second Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass last month.
McIlroy is arguably the top player in the world right now and will hope his impressive season so far continues in the first major of the year.
Rory McIlroy: Masters record
McIlroy will be completing in his 17th Masters tournament this year.
He has seven top ten finishes at Augusta but he has never won the major.
His first appearance came in 2009 and he’s set to tee off again 16 years later.
The Northern Irishman’s best finish was a second place in 2022 but he never really got into contention with eventual champion Scottie Scheffler.
And his worst finishes came when he failed to make the cut three times in 2010, 2021 and 2023.
In total, McIlroy has made over $4.3million in prize money from playing at The Masters.

His lowest round at Augusta is 64 while his highest is 80, with his average round score coming in at just over 71.
That 80 came in 2011. He led after each day before suffering a spectacular final day collapse to let the trophy slip from his grasp.
Last year, McIlroy finished in a tie for 22nd at four-over-par with a second round 77 meaning he never challenged for the title.
Rory McIlroy: Major wins
McIlroy has won a total of four majors in his career.
He hasn’t won one since 2014 though, with his most recent success coming at the PGA Championship 11 years ago.
That was his second title in the same year after he claimed The Open Championship at Hoylake.
In 2012, McIlroy won his first PGA Championship and that came a year after his maiden major win at the US Open in 2011.
He will be aiming to end his long wait to claim his fifth major title this year.
Should McIlroy win The Masters, he will become just the sixth player in history to complete the prestigious Grand Slam.
