Rory McIlroy made golf history on Sunday at Augusta National, becoming only the sixth golfer ever to complete the career Grand Slam with a thrilling victory at the 2025 Masters.

McIlroy was a hot pick on Hard Rock Bet, generating significant excitement in the sportsbook and helping numerous bettors cash in impressive tickets. Here’s a look at some of the standout wagers:

Best McIlroy Masters Tickets

  • $6,000 bet placed pre-tournament at +650 odds, earning a $45,000 win.
  • $11,764.71 bet after Round 2 at +325 odds, earning $50,000.
  • $2,000 bet placed pre-tournament (without Scheffler) at +525 odds, yielding $12,500.

It was a roller coaster weekend for McIlroy, prompting a handful of bettors to cash out on Saturday night and avoid the Sunday sweat. The following tickets punched out early, locking in a W at the expense of potentially maximizing profit:

  • One bettor placed a $1,000 bet on Rory to win the Masters at +650 which would have paid $7,500, but they took a $4,621.15 early cash out on Saturday night before the final round.
  • Another bettor placed a $1,315 bet on Rory to win @ +325 on Friday night after round 2 was in the books. They accepted a $3,592.77 cash out offer the following night, leaving about $2,000 on the table.

Grand Slam odds: Can Rory achieve the impossible?

With the Masters in hand, the spotlight now turns to McIlroy’s quest for an unprecedented single-season Major Grand Slam—something never achieved in golf’s modern era. While legendary Bobby Jones completed a single-year Grand Slam in 1930, his achievement came during the amateur era, featuring a different set of tournaments.

Hard Rock Bet offers exlusive odds on Rory’s quest:

  • Single-season Grand Slam (winning the PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship): 100-1 (+10000)
  • Winning at least two more majors: 14-1 (+1400)
  • Winning one more major: +175

Rory Grand Slam Odds

A High-Stakes Believer

Back in March, one particularly bold New Jersey sports bettor at Hard Rock Bet made a series of smaller wagers on McIlroy, combining multiple Rory Grand Slam parlays with McIlroy’s victory at The Players Championship (which he secured in a thrilling playoff against J.J. Spaun).

If that wasn’t enough, every ticket also includes a sixth bet that could be anything from a college basketball moneyline to a baseball future. In total, the bettor is still live for more than $6 million most of which hinges on the Grand Slam.

PGA Championship betting comes into focus

The next chapter in this historic run begins at the PGA Championship (May 15-18) at Quail Hollow in North Carolina. Currently, McIlroy is listed at +475, narrowly trailing favorite Scottie Scheffler (+450).

With the 2025 season heating up, all eyes — and a few significant wagers — are on Rory McIlroy as he aims to rewrite golf history once again.
