Will Rory McIlroy complete his career Grand Slam this week?

Past Masters Finishes:

2019: T21 (-5)

2018: T5 (-9)

2017: T7 (-3)

2016: T10 (+1)

2015: 4 (-12)

2014: T8 (E)

All Rory McIlroy is missing for the Career Grand Slam is the Green Jacket. Rory has been close for a number of years, finish in the top 10, 5 out of the last 6 tournaments and I am going to make the bold prediction that he gets it done this year. The weather favors McIlroy. It will be a colder than usual tournament, which Rory is used to playing in. Rory is rested, and healthy and ready to go.

Rory is on a ‘Major Drought’. His last Major victory coming in 2014 at the Open Championship, Rory is due a victory. As you can see from his past finishes, he has been right there. His game is fluid, and consistent. He rarely makes mistakes, and that is crucial in Augusta.

If it isn’t going to be Rory that takes it home, here are the list of players in order that I would expect. Betting on the first couple wouldn’t be the worst idea.
