Launching today on Prime Video is a feature-length documentary on 2025 Masters champion Rory McIlroy. Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait is centered on Rory's career-long quest to become a Masters champion. To fans, Augusta National represents golf's ultimate cathedral - pristine fairways, blooming azaleas, with a Tournament steeped in tradition and glory. But to Rory, Augusta National became a place of fears, failures and expectations that tormented him for 14 years. From his devastating 2011 collapse when he blew a four-shot Sunday lead at just 21 years old, to the near misses, disappointments and outright heartbreaks that followed, Augusta National became his nemesis - the one place that refused to yield even as he conquered the other three major championships: the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and The Open. The Masters remained elusive, the missing piece that prevented him from completing golf's most exclusive achievement, the career Grand Slam. Built around the dramatic final round of the 2025 Masters and unfolding hole by hole, the film is a cinematic battle between man and course, revealing why sport is never just sport, but myth played out in real time.
