Rory McIlroy returns to Augusta National as the defending Masters champion with a genuine chance at back-to-back Green Jackets, a rare feat in golf's most prestigious tournament, and the Holywood star has made clear he has no intention of surrendering his jacket without a fight. McIlroy's triumph twelve months ago marked the greatest moment of his career, and with newfound freedom and confidence, he'll be among the favourites alongside other major contenders as the first men's major of 2026 gets underway this week at Augusta. Elsewhere, Jon Rahm has expressed confidence in making Europe's 2027 Ryder Cup squad despite his current circumstances, while American Gary Woodland will have security support on hand to help manage PTSD episodes during the tournament, highlighting the human stories behind golf's grandest stages.
