As 2025 comes to an end, take a look back at the best shots from an unforgettable year for Rory McIlroy as he completed a career Grand Slam, won the Ryder Cup and claimed another Race to Dubai trophy.

Rory McIlroy has unveiled his menu for the traditional Champions Dinner ahead of the defence of his Masters crown at Augusta National in April.  

The Northern Irishman shall cater to fans of 1990 Chateau Lafite Rothschild and 1989 Chateau d'Yquem, so too sticky toffee pudding fanatics and grilled elk slider scranners.

The reigning Masters champion historically chooses the meals served to fellow winners in the Augusta clubhouse on the Tuesday evening ahead of the tournament getting under way on the Thursday morning.

McIlroy ended his agonising wait for a Masters title last year when he beat Justin Rose in a dramatic play-off hole to clinch an elusive Green Jacket.

The 36-year-old's menu includes a first course of yellowfin tuna carpaccio, followed by an option of other wagyu filet mignon or seared salmon - accompanied by traditional Irish Champ - before being rounded off by sticky toffee pudding for dessert.

He may also represent the first player to include brussels sprouts in his selection. Couple that with bacon-wrapped dates, and it is a bold move.

Last year saw Scottie Scheffler serve 'Scottie-style' sliders in a Texas-inspired menu, along with 'Papa Scheff's meatball and ravioli bites'.
