What protein bar was Rory McIlroy eating during the final round of the 2025 Masters?
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Rory McIlroy is the 2025 Masters champion.
Winning all four majors and completing the career grand slam is one of the highest achievements in golf, and McIlroy became one of just six men to achieve that feat, almost 11 years after winning the third leg in 2014.
Rory has always stressed the importance of fitness and his gym routine:
"The reason I play at such a high level and hopefully will continue to play at a high level for the next 10-15 years is because of the work I do in the gym. If I wasn't in the gym, I wouldn't be sitting here today. It's a big part of who I am, it's a big part of my success."
So it was no surprise that cameras caught McIlroy eating a Transparent Labs Protein+ Bar on Sunday at Augusta, fueling up for the home stretch of his historic win.

What is Transparent Labs?

Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods will not compete at the 2025 U.S. Open, marking the third consecutive major tournament he has missed this year due to an Achilles injury.

Podcast: What's it like to be the keeper of the Stanley Cup?

A few days from now, Burlington's Phil Pritchard is going to do what he's done every June for years and walk the Stanley Cup out to centre ice to present to the new National Hockey League champions. With apologies to sportscaster Jim Nance and his famous line about the Masters, this is a tradition like no other. A few weeks after that's done, Pritchard will start travelling to the ends of the earth to give each of the winners their day with the trophy. Which is an annual festival of joy that's taken him to the Great Wall of China, Russia and even into a sauna with a future Hall of Famer. In this episode of Placeline Hamilton, we find out what he thinks about before walking the Cup out there, what the one request from a player was that he couldn't fulfil, and the one rule he's never broken, even though he could and nobody would ever know. Oh, and we learn where all those white gloves go after he's worn them. This podcast explores issues about the city and stories of interest to those who call it home. Every week, Spectator columnist Scott Radley will dive into hot-button topics with newsmakers, explore stories with the reporters covering them, and chat with those who add to the fabric of this community. Whether it's serious or lighthearted, Placeline Hamilton will keep you informed and engaged. Listeners can expect new episodes every Wednesday.

2025 U.S. Open long shots, sleepers and prop picks: Why Russell Henley, Ben Griffin have value

While some of golf's biggest names make up the list of U.S. Open winners at Oakmont Country Club, where it will be played this week, there is some historical precedent for a long shot to overcome a big betting favorite. Ángel Cabrera entered the 2007 U.S. Open at odds near 100-to-1, but sealed a victory over Tiger Woods, who was the 2-to-1 favorite to win almost any major championship during his prime. Scottie Scheffler is starting to break into that rarefied air that Woods occupied during his prime, when he was the favorite in every major and would not relinquish a lead once he jumped out in front. Every trend and prediction model seems to push for one of only four golfers to win this tournament: Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and, to a lesser extent, Rory McIlroy are all going to take up a large amount of volume when it comes to winner's bets. My model gives a huge boost to three of the four players mentioned above, but also reveals some surprises among the top 10 options that could create exciting betting and hedging opportunities. Ben Griffin seems to fit the mold of Wyndham Clark when it comes to a player making a huge jump mid-season in form and swing speeds. Griffin has been a solid iron player since returning to the professional circuit, but now he has added distance off the tee and has excellent touch on his lag putts. Along with Griffin, below you will find a few other options my model likes this week to varying degrees. Russell Henley (+6000) is coming off two missed cuts in major championships, but he has five top 27 finishes at the U.S. Open in his last six tries. He had his best-ever finish at the U.S. Open in 2024 with a T7 at Pinehurst No. 2. He is coming off of a T5 at the Memorial, where he gained over 9 strokes from tee to green, and only a cold weekend putter kept him from challenging Griffin and Scheffler. Advertisement Ben Griffin (+6600) has picked up a ton of club head speed this year, and the results are starting to pile up. He has two wins in his last seven starts, and he has gained over 30 strokes combined from tee to green in his last three starts. He had his best-ever finish in a major championship with a T8 at the PGA Championship less than a month ago. Jack Nicklaus was a little dismissive of Griffin at the Memorial as Scheffler pulled away, but I feel that was a little harsh. Griffin is going through an upswing that could be compared to the one Clark had in the summer of 2023. Sam Burns (+6600) has been getting decent results lately without putting his entire game together. He hadn't gained strokes off the tee and on approach in any tournament since the 2024 Tour Championship before gaining in both categories last week at the RBC Canadian Open. Burns has been good at the U.S. Open the last few years as he was amongst the leaders the first few days at both Los Angeles C.C. and Brookline before having his best finish at Pinehurst No. 2, where he finished T9. Harris English (+8000) is coming off his best finish in a major championship with a T2 at the 2025 PGA Championship. He has three top 8 finishes at the U.S. Open and has never missed the cut at a U.S. Open in his career. If English is going to win a major championship, I believe the U.S. Open is his best bet. He has been driving the ball well as of late, gaining over 7 strokes combined off the tee over his last four tournaments. Si Woo Kim killed me with his hole-in-one at the PGA Championship. I'm a glutton for punishment and don't believe in fun, so I'm rooting for the no hole-in-one this week. We haven't seen a hole-in-one at Oakmont Country Club in a U.S. Open since 1983, and I believe we won't see one this year. We get Scheffler, DeChambeau and Schauffele while also gaining all of my higher-odds options. McIlroy has looked out of sorts, while Rahm has fallen away any time he has gotten near a lead since joining LIV Golf. Advertisement Rahm vs. McIlroy: Rahm (-125) Collin Morikawa vs. Shane Lowry: Lowry (+100) Niemann vs. Tommy Fleetwood: Niemann (-105) Patrick Cantlay vs. Justin Thomas: Patrick Cantlay (-105) Tyrell Hatton vs. Henley: Henley (+100) Betting/odds links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.
