At the 2025 Masters, Rory McIlroy<\/a> created history. Not only did the Northern Irishman win his first ever green jacket at Augusta National, but he also became the sixth golfer in history to win a career grand slam. This achievement was possible because of McIlroy’s brilliant display in a sudden death playoff.<\/p>\nAfter four rounds of golf, the 2025 Masters was decided by a sudden death playoff between McIlroy and Justin Rose<\/a>. McIlroy completely outclassed his English rival in the playoff. Recently, during a press conference at the Quail Hollow Golf Club, Xander Schauffele spoke about what it’s like to face McIlroy in a playoff.<\/p>\nDetailing his own experience, Schauffele said (via ASAP Sport<\/em>):<\/p>\n“Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, Juan. The times I think about competing against him, I feel like he’s gotten the best of me almost every time. Thinking back to Quail, you know, I got the brunt of firing Rory McIlroy hitting it further and straighter than everyone, chipping and putting it better than everyone, and we kind of saw what that looked like in birdieing, I don’t know, what felt like every hole on the back nine. Looking back to China, played in a playoff against him. Lost. So I don’t really know any other heads-up moments that we’ve had.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n<\/template><\/p>\nYou can check the video of Rory McIlroy’s final round at the Masters below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"hqGjzCatL6Y\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/hqGjzCatL6Y\/sddefault.jpg\" src-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/hqGjzCatL6Y\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Further in the press conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/xander-schauffele\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Xander Schauffele<\/a> mentioned that Rory McIlroy is going to go down as one of the greatest golfers of all time.

Detailing his own experience, Schauffele said (via ASAP Sport<\/em>):<\/p>\n“Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, Juan. The times I think about competing against him, I feel like he’s gotten the best of me almost every time. Thinking back to Quail, you know, I got the brunt of firing Rory McIlroy hitting it further and straighter than everyone, chipping and putting it better than everyone, and we kind of saw what that looked like in birdieing, I don’t know, what felt like every hole on the back nine. Looking back to China, played in a playoff against him. Lost.

“Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, Juan. The times I think about competing against him, I feel like he’s gotten the best of me almost every time. Thinking back to Quail, you know, I got the brunt of firing Rory McIlroy hitting it further and straighter than everyone, chipping and putting it better than everyone, and we kind of saw what that looked like in birdieing, I don’t know, what felt like every hole on the back nine. Looking back to China, played in a playoff against him. Lost. So I don’t really know any other heads-up moments that we’ve had.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
