The Northern Ireland great is making his 15th shot at the Masters, the only major that has eluded him so far. It is the ninth time he has traveled to Augusta knowing that a victory would make him only the sixth male golfer to win a complete set of major championships.
But McIlroy acknowledges that it has been so long since he captured one of the big four crowns that he feels as like he is still searching for his first major victory rather than his fifth. In August 2014, he last competed in the US PGA Championship.
Even though it seems like yesterday, the 33-year-old world number two is still one of the game's most formidable players. He has also possibly grown to be the sport's most prominent player among the off-course antics that plague men's professional golf.
