AUGUSTA, Ga. — The honorary starters at the Masters — with a combined 11 green jackets and 140 starts at the Masters between them — know greatness when they see it. And all three of them see greatness in 2025 in one player in particular.
“I think Rory McIlroy will win the Masters this year,” three-time Masters winner Gary Player said, “and I hope he does because it would give golf a great boost to have another winner of the Grand Slam.”
“I just have a gut feeling that Rory is the guy that's going to win this week,” two-time Masters winner Tom Watson added.
