Rory McIlroy will tee up at the 2024 Masters at 10:42 am on Thursday, April 11, hoping to complete his career grand slam. The four-time major winner will take the first tee alongside event favorites Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. The Northern Irish golfer has also been deemed a favorite for the Augusta National event.
Notably, McIlroy doesn’t have the best record at the Masters. The 34-year-old made his Masters debut at Augusta in 2009. He was 20 at the time. He finished T20 as Ángel Cabrera registered the win. However, the form flipped the next year as the Irishman failed to make the cut in 2010.

McIlroy enjoyed a decent run of results from 2011 to 2020. The PGA Tour star finished T15 in 2011, T8 in 2014, fourth in 2015, T10 in 2016, T7 in 2017, and T5 in 2018 and 2020. A T40 finish in 2012, T25 in 2013, and T21 in 2019 were exceptions.
However, disaster struck as he failed to make the Friday cut in the 2021 edition of the competition. He bounced back with a memorable solo second in 2022, only to miss the cut again in 2023, when Jon Rahm won.
