Rory McIlroy wählt Sitzplatz für das zukünftige Champions Dinner beim Masters

Rory McIlroy hat nach seiner erfolgreichen Titelverteidigung seinen bevorzugten Platz beim jährlichen Masters Champions Dinner festgelegt. Der nordirische Golfer bat Adam Scott und Trevor Immelman, ihm einen Platz in ihrer Tischecke freizuhalten. Dies geschah, nachdem er die Veranstaltung während der Masters-Woche 2026 ausgerichtet hatte.

Beim Masters Champions Dinner begutachtete McIlroy den U-förmigen Tisch, während er zwischen Ben Crenshaw und dem Vorsitzenden Fred Ridley saß. Er bemerkte, wie Scott und Immelman sich in der linken unteren Ecke amüsierten, und bat sie, einen Platz für ihn freizuhalten, falls er in dieser Woche nicht erneut gewinnen sollte. McIlroy verteidigte daraufhin seinen Titel und wurde damit erst der vierte Spieler in der Geschichte, dem dies im Augusta National gelang.
