Legends Pick Rory to Win Masters 2025

Rory McIlroy's Big Moment

By: Rakesh Surya

By: Rakesh Surya

Masters 2025 Prediction: All Three Legends Pick Rory McIlroy!

In a stunning show of confidence, golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Tom Watson have all chosen Rory.

All Three Honorary Starters Back Rory!

During the opening ceremony at Augusta, the honorary starters all agreed — Rory McIlroy is the man to beat this year.

Jack Had Lunch with Rory Last Week

Jack Nicklaus sat down with McIlroy in South Florida, breaking down Augusta National hole by hole — a rare and strategic conversation.

Nicklaus Said: “I Wouldn’t Change a Thing.”

After Rory described his game plan for Augusta, Nicklaus was so impressed that he said he wouldn’t change a single part of it.

Jack Has Helped Rory Before… But This Time Feels Different

Though Nicklaus has guided Rory in the past, something about this year stands out.

McIlroy Is on Fire in 2025!

He’s already claimed two PGA Tour wins this year and is leading in strokes gained: total — an all-around performance metric.

Jack: “Discipline Was the Missing Piece.”

Nicklaus believes Rory always had the talent — what he lacked was consistency and mental discipline in crucial moments.

Rory’s Masters Journey Hasn’t Been Easy

In three of the last four Masters, Rory has posted rounds of 76 or higher — big numbers that have cost him dearly.

Tom Watson: “This Is Rory’s Year”

Golf legend Tom Watson feels it deep down — Rory’s time to win at Augusta has finally arrived.

Gary Player: “He Asked Jack. That Means Everything.”

Gary believes that Rory turning to Jack for advice shows he’s serious and mature.
