It's the final round of the 2025 Masters with Rory McIlroy in pole position to write himself into the history books. The Northern Irish golfer last won a major in 2014 but sits two shots clear of Bryson DeChambeau going into the final day's play . The Masters is the only major title to elude McIlroy so far in his career, so if he does manage to get his hands on the famous green jacket this evening his will join an exclusive group in completing a career Grand Slam.
There is widespread support for McIlroy across the UK and beyond with people glued to their TV screens for a fourth and final day until the conclusion late on tonight. One group who are bracing themselves for a McIlroy victory for very different reasons are the bookmakers, who are fearing the worst ahead of the final round. William Hill in particular are facing a hefty double payout after offering Money Back as Free Bet if McIlroy wins The Masters as spokesperson for William Hill , Lee Phelps, explained: “With Rory McIlroy holding a two-shot advantage heading into Sunday’s action at The Masters, we’re facing a significant outlay if the Northern Irishman gets over the line to claim his first Green Jacket, after giving our customers a Money Back as a Free Bet if he completes the career Grand Slam.
“Rory was always the biggest liability in our book so, combined with a refund for those customers that backed against him, if he manages to claim a maiden Masters triumph tonight, we’re looking at an almighty payout! “McIlroy is now 4/9 to complete the career Grand Slam, ahead of Bryson DeChambeau, who is 13/5 to bridge the gap to pip his playing partner to the coveted top spot.” Sign up to our free sports newsletter to get the latest headlines to your inbox.
