Rory McIlroy eyes elusive Masters win to complete career Grand Slam

Rory McIlroy, a professional golfer from Northern Ireland, continues his pursuit of a first Masters Tournament victory, the only major championship missing from his collection.[1] A win would make him the sixth man to achieve the career Grand Slam in men's golf.[2]

Winning the green jacket carries the honor of curating the annual Masters Champions Dinner, held on the Tuesday evening before the tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.[3] The event, limited to past Masters champions, began as a tradition in 1952 and is hosted by the previous year's winner, who selects the menu.[3]

McIlroy, 35, has four major titles: the 2011 U.S. Open, 2012 PGA Championship, 2014 Open Championship and 2014 PGA Championship.[1] He plays primarily on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, and currently ranks third in the Official World Golf Ranking.[4]
