Rory McIlroy won the 2026 Masters on Sunday to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win back-to-back titles at Augusta National. The Northern Irishman overcame a dramatic collapse in the third round that saw his six-shot lead vanish, battling back against Cameron Young in the final round. It is McIlroy's sixth major championship and second successive green jacket.
