Phil Mickelson sends Rory McIlroy a message after his 'amazing' 2025 Masters victory

The 2025 Masters tournament ended with Rory McIlroy claiming his first-ever green jacket at the Augusta National. McIlroy's win on Sunday led to many big names like Tiger Woods congratulating him publicly. One such name who congratulated McIlroy publicly is Phil Mickelson.

After the 2025 Masters came to an end last week, Mickelson posted a message on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). At first, the 54-year-old golfer spoke about the tournament and then proceeded to congratulate Rory McIlroy for his 'amazing' win.

Mickelson wrote:

"What in incredible Masters 😳 Congrats to Rory on his win and for completing the career grand slam. Amazing 👍"

Like Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson also competed at the 2025 Masters. But, Mickelson's time at the tournament was cut short as he missed the cut after Round 2 on Friday. Mickelson was one of the five LIV golfers who missed the cut at Augusta.

However, it must be noted that Rory McIlroy at the start of Round 4 battled against LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau. Initially, McIlroy and DeChambeau were having a neck-to-neck battle, until the latter experienced a dip in form which allowed Justin Rose to take over.
