2024 Masters: Rory McIlroy stats, earnings, history and full preview for 2024 Masters
Masters Week has arrived in Augusta.
The first of four men's major golf tournaments begins this Thursday with just under 90 golfers competing to don the iconic green jacket awarded to the Masters tournament winner.
This year, Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy is one of the top picks to win the tournament by current odds. Since turning professional in 2007, the Masters remains the one major McIlroy has yet to win. He came in second place in 2022 with a final round surge – shooting a 64, eight strokes under par – that still left him three strokes short of champion Scottie Scheffler.
