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.
For the sixth year in a row, the Players Championship has produced a winner who has been among the top 10 in the world rankings.
McIlroy's form at Augusta, even when he has been trending up, hasn't produced a victory or even a consistent trend of results.
