Rory McIlroy sits down with Todd Lewis to discuss his monumental victory at the Masters, the mental hurdles he overcame at Augusta and why becoming a grand slam winner is a “dream come true.” Bryson DeChambeau said he felt in control after taking the lead in the Masters early on Sunday, but iron play again was to blame for the wheels coming off. He also shares that Rory McIlroy didn't talk to him on Sunday.

Justin Rose says while he's proud of how he flipped the switch after a 75 Saturday, losing the playoff to Rory McIlroy punctuates each of his two career Masters playoff losses — though there's nothing he can do about it. Rory McIlroy reflects on breaking his major drought and winning the career grand slam on an incredibly nerve-wracking day at Augusta, 11 years in the making — and walks through some of the shots that won him the Masters. Jack Nicklaus calls in to Live From the Masters, praising some "remarkable" — if not safe — shots that Rory McIlroy hit to, as the six-time Masters champ put it, finally take the world off his shoulders.



Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood react to Rory McIlroy's 2025 Masters and career grand slam wins, the former saying Rory can retire now and the latter calling McIlroy the greatest of his generation. From two back to two up, Rory McIlroy enters Sunday at the Masters in an "amazing" position to take home his first green jacket, and he discusses the ebs and flows of Augusta National and what it will take to win.

It may not just be Rory and Bryson on Sunday: Corey Conners is just four back, but he was disappointed on Saturday night with some missed opportunities in the third round of the Masters at Augusta. The importance of his 50-foot putt to end Round 3 isn't lost on Bryson DeChambeau, who adds he needs to dial in his irons before what he anticipates to be a great battle with Rory McIlroy. Rory McIlroy reflects on his "dream start" of six straight threes to open Saturday's Round 3 at the Masters and shares how he needs to stay within himself in what should be a "rowdy" final pairing with Bryson DeChambeau.
