Rory McIlroy's $50M private jet leaves for Palm Beach after a day in Augusta ahead of The Masters

Rory McIlroy's private jet was spotted leaving for Palm Beach after he spent a day at Augusta National. The Northern Irish star is gearing up for the upcoming Major and has seemingly already begun his practice sessions.

Following his strong outing at the Houston Open, which wrapped up on Sunday, March 30, Rory McIlroy's airplane #N1989R, worth around $50 million (via The Mirror US), landed in Augusta National, and as reported by RadarAtlas, he left for Palm Beach a day later. Sharing the news on its X (formerly Twitter) account, RadarAtlas wrote:

"That's it. Rory McIlroy's full day of scouting in #Augusta is over. His plane #N1989R took off about 20 minutes ago and is headed back home to Palm Beach International #KPBI."

Rory McIlroy had an amazing outing in the 2025 Houston Open. He played the four rounds of 70, 66, 65, and 64 to settle in a tie for fifth place.

He has been impressive with his game and has already won two tournaments on the PGA Tour this season. However, the 35-year-old has been dealing with a small injury ahead of the first Major of the year.
