Rory McIlroy Wins Masters, Completes Career Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy made history by winning the Masters in a dramatic playoff against Justin Rose, marking his fifth Major title and completing the career Grand Slam. The win, which came after a tumultuous final round, led to significant seven-figure losses for bookmakers, with many having offered promotions based on McIlroy's victory. Following his Masters success, McIlroy is now the favorite for upcoming tournaments, including the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, with odds reflecting his strong performance this season. Bookmakers noted that the Masters was one of the most significant betting events in golf history due to McIlroy's popularity and the stakes involved. His triumph ends an 11-year wait for a Major win, further solidifying his status in the sport. McIlroy's next challenge will be to defend his title at the PGA Championship, where he has historically performed well.
