🏆 2026 Result — Rory McIlroy defends his title

Rory McIlroy claimed his second consecutive green jacket at the 2026 Masters, finishing at 12-under par 276 to edge world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by a single stroke. The victory was anything but straightforward — McIlroy surrendered a six-shot lead through 36 holes before steadying himself on Sunday for a composed, clutch final round. By successfully defending, McIlroy joined Jack Nicklaus (1965–66), Nick Faldo (1989–90), and Tiger Woods (2001–02) as the only players in Masters history to win back-to-back. The triumph comes one year after his 2025 win completed his career Grand Slam, and it cements McIlroy's place among Augusta National's all-time greats at just the beginning of what many expect to be a dominant run.
