Rory McIlroy embarks on Augusta National scouting mission ahead of the 2024 Masters - Reports

Rory McIlroy is in search of his very first green jacket as he begins his campaign for the 2024 Masters. Ahead of the tournament on April 11, McIlroy reportedly reached the Augusta National Golf Course to scout and prepare for the same.

Rory McIlroy is in search of his first Major win in over a decade and winning the 2024 Masters will not only break that drought, it would also give him his golf career Grand Slam of winning all four Majors.

Rory McIlroy began his 2024 schedule on a high note, with a second place finish at the Dubai Invitational. He followed that up with a win at the 2024 Dubai Desert Classic. McIlroy's campaign on the PGA Tour, however, has not been that strong, with a best finish of T19 at the Players.

Ahead of the Masters, Rory McIlroy will be making an appearance at the 2024 Valero Texas Open. He will be headlining the field alongside the likes of Jordan Spieth, Brian Harman, and Matt Fitzpatrick.

Tiger Woods also reportedly scouted the Augusta National Golf Course ahead of the Masters as he attempts to make his first appearance since withdrawing from the 2024 Genesis Invitational.
