Rory McIlroy joined one of the most exclusive clubs in sports earlier this year when, after a decade of disappointment and heartbreak, he slipped on the Green Jacket as a Masters champion. The Career Grand Slam was finally complete.
The gift his caddie, Harry Diamond, gave him recently might be just as cool.
The Northern Irishman joined the Fried Egg’s Shotgun Start podcast recently and told the boys that in Australia, Diamond gave him an Augusta National scorecard signed by the first five players to complete the Slam: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
“He brought me this with a Sharpie and said, ‘Do you want to sign it?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ And I said, ‘I just hope I don’t have to get Scottie to sign it next year,” McIlroy joked.
After winning the PGA Championship and The Open in 2025, Scheffler is just a U.S. Open title away from adding his name to the list.
No disrespect to the McIlroy household, but I’m not sure anyone will give Rory a better Christmas gift this year.
