And that's amazing.
That's an amazing place to be.
There you go.
There you go, sir.
Rory, on behalf of the club, we always will celebrate your victory last year and the history you made by winning your first green jacket and completing the Grand Slam.
Today, you have accomplished what has occurred only three other times.
you are a Masters Champion for the second year in a row.
Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the 2026 Masters Champion, Rory McIlroy.
Mum and Dad, I owe everything to you.
You are...
You're the most wonderful parents.
And if I can be half the parent to Poppy as you were to me, then I know I've done a good job.
Thank you.
I thought it was so difficult to win last year because of trying to win the Masters and the Grand Slam.
And then this year I realised it's just really difficult to win the Masters.
I did a couple of days where I dropped Poppy to school, flew up here, played, landed back home and had dinner with Eric and Poppy.
I did a couple of day trips like that.
The more time I could spend up here, the better.
Becoming a wily old veteran, I think.
Again, as Harry said to me last year going into the playoff, we would have taken this on Monday morning.
