Rory McIlroy is making another attempt to complete a career Grand Slam at the upcoming Masters Tournament, having already achieved significant success in the 2025 PGA Tour season. Despite past difficulties at Augusta, McIlroy is considered a top contender, with Golf Channel commentator Brandel Chamblee noting this could be his best chance yet to win the elusive title. McIlroy has made strategic adjustments to his game, including tweaking his driver, as he prepares for the demanding course.
