However, since 2014, McIlroy has been chasing the historic dream of completing a career grand slam, winning all four major championships, namely the U.S. Open, PGA, The Open, and The Masters.

However, McIlroy's 10-year wait came to an end this week as he won the 2025 Masters Tournament to clinch the much-awaited career grand slam. He has become only the sixth golfer in history to achieve the feat after the likes of Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

As Rory McIlroy celebrated his feat with family and fans, former F1 champion Damon Hill also gave a shoutout to his victory on Instagram. He posted a story that said:

'Suits you, sir! Ooh!"

Not many know, but Rory McIlroy, who scripted history by achieving a career grand slam in golf, has ties to F1. He became an investor in Alpine Racing back in 2023, along with several notable figures, such as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Anthony Joshua, and Ryan Reynolds.

Hence, after his career grand slam win, Alpine driver Pierre Gasly shared a special social media post for Rory and called him a legend.

Alpine attracted several celebrity investors in the past to boost their operations. In 2024, they brought back controversial Italian businessman Flavio Briatore as Executive Advisor. He was previously banned from Formula 1 for his involvement in the Crashgate scandal of 2008. However, after his ban was lifted, the French team employed him again.

This season, however, Alpine hasn't had a good start, accumulating six points in four races.
