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.<\/p>\n
The gift his caddie, Harry Diamond, gave him recently might be just as cool.<\/p>\n
The Northern Irishman joined the Fried Egg\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe brought me this with a Sharpie and said, \u2018Do you want to sign it?\u2019 And I said, \u2018Absolutely not.\u2019 And I said, \u2018I just hope I don\u2019t have to get Scottie to sign it next year,\u201d McIlroy joked.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
No disrespect to the McIlroy household, but I\u2019m not sure anyone will give Rory a better Christmas gift this year.<\/p>\n
