Here’s the latest information I can share:
-
Rory McIlroy won back-to-back Masters titles in 2025 and 2026, becoming the first to defend the green jacket since Tiger Woods in 2001–2002. This places him in an elite group of two-time back-to-back winners at Augusta.[3][5]
-
Prior back-to-back Masters champions are Jack Nicklaus (1962–1963), Nick Faldo (1989–1990), and Tiger Woods (2001–2002). McIlroy’s 2026 victory makes him the fourth golfer to achieve consecutive Masters titles.[2][7]
If you’d like, I can pull up the most recent Masters champions list and provide a quick timeline of all back-to-back winners with years and margins. I can also fetch current articles from specific outlets (e.g., Sporting News, NBC Sports) for additional context.
