The Masters is only a few weeks away and the hype for the Major only keeps increasing in the golf world. While the excitement level for the fans may be increasing day by day, the preparation for the first Major of the year must be in full swing for the golfers. One such star is the former world number one Rory McIlroy, who is rumored to be taking a massive step in order to claim his maiden Masters victory.

McIlroy is widely regarded as one of the best golfers of this generation. He has added four Major titles to his name, winning the PGA Championship twice. Though the Northern Irish star may have won the rest of the Majors, he has yet to wear the Green Jacket at Augusta National.

He came close to claiming it last year, but only finished as runner-up to Scottie Scheffler. Nonetheless, Rory looks to win his first Masters title next month. However, to ensure his win, the golfer is rumored to make a big change in his equipment.

After ending last season on a high note with a Tour Championship win, McIlroy has tried to maintain his good form this season. In five starts, the 33-year-old has a win and two top-10 finishes. However, he failed to make the cut in PGA Tour’s flagship event, the Players Championship earlier this month.

With pressure mounting on him to end his nine-year Major win drought, Rory is rumored to take different measures to ensure his first Masters title next month. According to an Instagram account named ‘The Country Club Collection’, McIlroy has made big equipment adjustments ahead of the first Major of the season.
