McIlroy set up for Masters? Bhatia ready for leap? What we learned at the Players Championship

Rory McIlroy's recent victory at the Players Championship marks his second win of the season before April, a first in his career. Despite previous struggles at Augusta National, his consistent elite performance in majors, with eight top-10 finishes in his last 12 appearances, raises expectations. The victory not only boosts his confidence but also sets the stage for a competitive golf season with intriguing narratives as the Masters approach. However, history suggests that early-season success does not guarantee results at major championships.

McIlroy's form at Augusta, even when he has been trending up, hasn't produced a victory or even a consistent trend of results.
