Rory McIlroy on Bryson DeChambeau Request He Refused During Masters 2025 Win

McIlroy and DeChambeau clashed over etiquette and competitive pressure during the 2025 Masters final round, illustrating their stark personality differences, McIlroy said.

  • In a new Amazon Prime documentary, Rory McIlroy revealed a tense standoff with Bryson DeChambeau over putting order during the 2025 Masters final round at Augusta National.
  • Both players viewed the opportunity to putt first as a strategic advantage to apply pressure on their opponent while dueling for the green jacket.
  • At the 9th green, DeChambeau suggested flipping a tee to decide order, but McIlroy refused, saying, "This is the final round of the Masters, this isn't some game on a Tuesday afternoon somewhere!"
  • McIlroy insisted on calling a rules official to measure the distance, prompting DeChambeau to back down and allowing McIlroy to putt first and drain the birdie putt.
  • The Masters Wait debuts March 30 on Prime Video, offering further insight into the rivalry between the two golf stars as the 2026 Masters approaches in April.
