The final standings from the Masters tournament, the first major of the year, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Rory McIlroy, the reigning champion, made history by successfully defending his title, becoming the first player to do so since Tiger Woods. McIlroy's victory came after a thrilling playoff against Justin Rose the previous year, where he achieved a career Grand Slam.
World number one Scottie Scheffler was the pre-tournament favorite, but McIlroy's consistent performance earned him a one-shot lead over Scheffler, with Tyrrell Hatton finishing third alongside Justin Rose, Cameron Young, and Russell Henley. Other notable players, including Collin Morikawa and Max Homa, also made the top 10. The Masters, the first of four men's golf majors, will be followed by the PGA Championship in May, the US Open in June, and the Open in July.
The PGA Tour will then head to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina for the RBC Heritage, with Justin Thomas returning as the defending champion.
