Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff, earning his fifth major championship and his first since 2014. Despite a shaky final round, McIlroy held on to win after a topsy-turvy day that saw him lose his lead to Justin Rose but ultimately come out on top. Rose made a remarkable comeback from being seven strokes behind to tie with McIlroy for the lead. McIlroy’s win ends an 11-year major championship drought and he takes home $4.2 million as the Masters winner. Rose earned $2.268 million for his impressive final-round surge. McIlroy’s victory marks a significant milestone in his career, especially after his collapse at the 2011 Masters. The next major golf tournament will be the PGA Championship in May.
