Shane Lowry joins his close friend and defending champion Rory McIlroy in searching for success at The Masters. The first major championship of the 2026 season has arrived at Augusta National, the site of McIlroy’s famous playoff win over Justin Rose in 2025.

Scottie Scheffler says Augusta National's cell phone ban at the Masters creates "very peaceful" conditions for golfers. Fans like it, too.

Rory McIlroy tossed a golf ball to a child at the 2016 Players Championship and that kid, US Amateur champion Mason Howell, will play alongside McIlroy to start the 90th Masters."I've got his ball in my bag right now, one that he gave me in 2016," Howell said.

For the first time, McIlroy arrives at Augusta National without the pressure of never having won there.

"It's still a battle in my head if I'm safe or not."
