Rory McIlroy believes he is entering this year’s Masters in the best form of his career as he chases the elusive Green Jacket. The Northern Irish golfer, now 35, arrives at Augusta National having already secured two PGA Tour wins in 2025 — a commanding performance at Pebble Beach and a gritty play-off victory at The Players Championship.
These wins mark the first time McIlroy has captured multiple titles before the Masters, reinforcing his confidence as he aims to complete a career Grand Slam.
McIlroy credits his recent success to the adjustments made to his game toward the end of last season, saying the results validate his hard work and preparation. He emphasized the importance of both his dominant win at Pebble Beach and his resilience at Sawgrass, where he returned for a Monday finish in tough conditions.
With seven top-10 finishes in 16 Masters appearances, McIlroy is optimistic that his current momentum could finally lead to victory at Augusta, a course that has long challenged him.
Statistically, McIlroy has impressed across several key performance metrics. He currently boasts the lowest scoring average on the PGA Tour at 69.281, ahead of reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler.
While his driving and putting stats remain strong, McIlroy’s accuracy in hitting greens in regulation lags slightly — a critical factor at Augusta. Still, his enthusiasm remains high. “Every year I come back with the goal of winning this tournament,” McIlroy said. “And after the start I’ve had this year, I don’t feel like I’ve ever been in better form.”
