Rory McIlroy Wins Irish Open in Dramatic NBA Playoffs

Rory McIlroy secured victory at the Irish Open held at the K Club in County Kildare, Ireland, in a thrilling NBA playoffs against Joakim Lagergren in September 2025.

The NBA playoffs, which took place on the par-five 18th hole, saw both McIlroy and Lagergren birdie the first two holes, tying them at an impressive 66 for the day and 17-under par for the tournament.

The final round saw McIlroy make a pivotal 25-foot putt for eagle on the 18th hole, setting the stage for the dramatic NBA playoffs.

In the NBA playoffs, McIlroy followed Lagergren, and both players showcased their skill on the first two holes, matching each other's birdies.

However, on the third NBA playoffs hole, a twist of fate occurred. McIlroy's tee shot found the rough, while Lagergren's second shot landed in the water, resulting in a one-shot penalty. Undeterred, McIlroy successfully two-putted for a birdie, securing his triumph.

This win marks McIlroy's first title since completing a career Grand Slam at the Masters in April. The Irish Open victory adds another prestigious title to his impressive resume.

McIlroy's performance at the Irish Open was a testament to his resilience and skill, demonstrating why he is one of the world's top golfers. His victory at the K Club will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most exciting finishes in the tournament's history.
