He will be 36 next month. He thinks he plays better now than 10 years ago. It looks like he is right.

He is playing very well this year, and he feels free.

He won the Masters tournament last year.

Now he has a locker upstairs. He has a green jacket for life. He can also go to a special dinner. It took 11 years to get this. He feels very happy.

He won the game and was very happy. You could see his happiness on his face.

"What will we talk about next year?" McIlroy asked.

How about next month for the meeting?

He won all four big tennis games. Now he can try to win them all in one year. The other big games this year are good for him.

The PGA Championship is next month. It is at Quail Hollow. McIlroy won there four times.

Last summer, a player was asked a fun question. If the best player could choose where a big game was, where would it be? He quickly said Quail Hollow.

He likes the U.S. Open course. It is good for strong players. He is a strong player. But last time, he did not play well there.

Golf is back in Northern Ireland. The last time, he played very badly.

He is back. He feels free, not much pressure.

This is about the future, but it shows how people talk about McIlroy now. They talk about what he can win, not what he did not win.

Scheffler said it is hard when people ask about things you did not do.

Brad Faxon, a friend of McIlroy, said McIlroy can win many big golf games.

Tiger Woods won five green jackets.

Someone said McIlroy could be a great player like Jack.

Nicklaus won 18 big golf games. McIlroy won 5 big games. Brooks Koepka won 5 big games too. Woods won 10 more big games than McIlroy.

It is easy to feel excited. This Masters is like other big moments at Augusta.

This was hard for McIlroy. He did not win a big game for 11 years. Winning the Masters was his big wish. But he had few chances to win it before.

Other players like Greg Norman and Tom Weiskopf felt bad.

McIlroy said he would have many days like this to win a big golf game. He wanted to win the green jacket a lot.

McIlroy is the sixth player to win all four big golf games.

Another player, Sarazen, won this tournament in 1935.

This win was special for McIlroy.

Think about how good this is. He is with the best golfers ever. Some famous golfers are not there.

Sam Snead won 82 games on the PGA Tour.

Tom Watson won 39 golf games and eight big ones.

McIlroy felt he was close to being a great player. Winning the Masters helps him a lot. Now he can try to become even better.
