Tiger Woods believes Rory McIlroy will “definitely” win the Masters during his career to complete the grand slam.<\/p>\n
While a relaxed McIlroy said he felt he had all the ingredients necessary to triumph at Augusta National and has shed scar tissue from previous failures, Woods was unequivocal on the subject.<\/p>\n
“It’s just a matter of time,” the five-time Masters winner said. “Rory has the talent. He has the game. He has all the tools to win here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “A lot of things have to happen to win at this golf course. A lot of things have to go right. I think Rory has shown over the years he’s learned how to play this golf course and you just have to understand how to play it.<\/p>\n “He’s been there. Last year he made a great run, put himself there. But whether it’s this year or next or whenever it comes, he will get it done and he will have a career grand slam. It will definitely happen.”<\/p>\n Since winning the Open Championship in 2014, McIlroy has had eight attempts to win a green jacket and join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Woods in having won all four major titles.<\/p>\n His best finish of second came last year thanks to a stunning closing 64 which included an eagle and six birdies, the last coming from a greenside bunker on the 18th and prompting an exuberant celebration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What a way to finish. McIlroy holes out on No. 18 to put pressure on the leader. #themasters<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/L5fWWbR9cj<\/a><\/p>\n — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
