Rory McIlroy incredibly named every Masters winner since 1989, finishing with a likely 2024 prediction

For 10 years, Rory McIlroy has been one major championship away from a career grand slam, and for 10 years that Masters title has eluded him.

If you ever wondered how much it would mean to McIlroy to finally join that exclusive group of golfers to win green jackets — and the even smaller group to win all four majors — his knowledge of the event should tell you all you need to know.

In season one of Netflix’s Full Swing, McIlroy said he could name every Masters champion. So, the PGA Tour’s Sean Martin put his memory to the test by asking him to name every winner since his birth year in 1989. McIlroy nailed almost all 35 players on first guest.

As a bonus, he wrapped it up by picking himself to win this weekend’s tournament.

Despite coming up short so many times, you have to appreciate McIlroy’s unwavering confidence in himself. With +1100 odds at BetMGM to win the Masters, McIlroy has the second-best chances in the field behind favorite Scottie Scheffler.

Knowing what’s at stake, plenty of people will be pulling for him to finally get it done.
