MASTERS '26: Rory McIlroy sheds burden of winning green jacket. Now it falls to others

Rory McIlroy had the green jacket on his shoulders and an enormous weight off his back when he looked ahead to the 90th edition of the Masters with a question and a coy smile. The Masters begins on Thursday, April 9, and McIlroy will be spared the questions that dogged him for nearly 15 years whether he could ever conquer Augusta National. Now that burden falls to those who have felt they had one arm in the coveted jacket, a list that includes Justin Rose and Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.
