Alex Myers considered Rory McIlroy the best bet to finally capture a Masters—and complete his career Grand Slam—given his ideal form entering Augusta. Myers specifically pointed to McIlroy's hot start in 2025, with notable victories already at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship, drawing a potential parallel to Scottie Scheffler's strong run prior to winning the 2024 Masters. Myers saw these successes and overall positive vibes around McIlroy providing him the best opportunity yet to break through his personal Augusta struggles in previous years.
