McIlroy has consistently performed well at the Masters, finishing second to Scottie Scheffler three years ago. He has achieved seven top-10 finishes in his 16 appearances.

Reflecting on his recent performances, McIlroy shared with BBC Sport NI, "I played great at Pebble Beach. [I] had to do it the hard way at Sawgrass, coming back on the Monday and playing in tough conditions." He considers these wins as significant confidence boosters and proof that his game is progressing positively.

Every year, McIlroy returns to Augusta with the ambition of winning. This year, he feels particularly ready due to his strong start to the season. "Every year, I come back with the goal of winning this tournament," he said. His current form gives him optimism about achieving his long-standing goal.

The Northern Irishman expressed his enthusiasm about participating in this year's tournament. "I'm happy to be here, and I'm excited to get going," he remarked. His determination is evident as he aims to add the elusive Green Jacket to his list of achievements.

McIlroy's journey through this year's Masters will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. His recent triumphs have set high expectations for what could be a pivotal moment in his career. As he tees off at Augusta National, all eyes will be on whether he can finally secure victory at this prestigious event.
