Watch: Rory McIlroy lists all past Masters champions while naming himself as the 2024 winner

Rory McIlroy has his sights on winning the Masters and completing the Grand Slam. The Northern Irishman has clinched four Major titles, with the Masters remaining the sole conquest on his radar.

As McIlroy prepares to tee off at the Masters this week, commencing with its inaugural round on Thursday, April 11, he was asked to recall all the champions of the Masters since 1989. Starting with Nick Faldo's victory 35 years ago, McIlroy listed each winner, concluding with himself as the victor of the 2024 edition.

The PGA Tour shared a video of the golfer on its X platform (formerly Twitter) with a caption:

"Can you name every Masters champ since 1989? Putting @McIlroyRory to the test."

It is important to note that the Masters started in 1934, with Horton Smith winning the inaugural edition. Last year, Jon Rahm took home the trophy.

This year's Masters will get underway on Thursday, April 11, and will have its finale on Sunday, April 14, at the Augusta National Golf Course. Rory McIlroy is one of the bettors' favorites for the week along with several other top golfers.
