What Scottie Scheffler said after Rory McIlroy’s historic win at Augusta

Scottie Scheffler had a decent week last week at the Augusta National during the 2025 Masters, while Rory McIlroy managed to win his first green jacket. As per tradition, Scheffler presented him with the green jacket as the defending champion of the Masters.

McIlroy won the 2025 Masters, while Scheffler finished solo 4th. The two-time Major championship winner, who is not so active on social media, shared a reel on his Instagram and wrote a couple of sentences about Mcllory's historic Masters win.

"What a week at @themasters! Congratulations to @rorymcilroy on a historic grand slam win. It was an honor to get to put on the green jacket."

As the defending champion of the event, Scottie Scheffler was the favorite coming into the 2025 Masters. Even though he struggled a bit and faltered on a few holes, he showcased decent consistency throughout the week and scored -8 for the event. He remained just three strokes behind the leaders, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy, on the other hand, came from behind in the Masters as he had a dismal start to the event with an even-par finish and was seven strokes behind the leader after day one. However, he bounced back and eventually won his first-ever green jacket in the playoffs to complete his career Grand Slam.
