As the Masters approaches, check out a selection of the best and worst shots from Rory McIlroy's long career at Augusta National.
Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods is expected to return to action, while reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and two-time major winner Jon Rahm are among LIV Golf's strong contingent involved in the event.
How do players qualify for the Masters?
The top 50 in the world at the end of the previous calendar year receive an invitation, as do those inside the top 50 during the week before the tournament, while previous winners are exempt for life, and all other major winners from the past five years are also included.
The top 12 and tie from last year's Masters are allowed to return, as are the top four and ties from the other three majors in 2024, with each winner of a full-field PGA Tour event – those not playing the same week as a major – in the past 12 months securing a place.

Watch the story of Scottie Scheffler's final round at the 2024 Masters as he wins his second Green Jacket.
The last three winners of The Players and all qualifiers for last season's Tour Championship receive their invitation, plus the champions of the world's five major amateur titles, while the Masters committee can invite a player who did not qualify.
The two finalists of the US Amateur Championship and the winner of the Amateur Championship are invited, along with the winners of the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship, the Latin American Amateur Championship, the US Intermediate Amateur and the NCCA Division 1 Men's Singles Champion.
How can players still earn a spot at the Masters?
Nicolai Hojgaard and Chile's Joaquin Niemann accepted special invitations in January to play in this year's event, while Justin Hastings secured his debut with victory at the Latin American Amateur Championship.
Unless other players are offered invitations to the field, the only two remaining ways to secure a spot at the Masters are to break into the world's top 50 by March 31 or win a PGA Tour event before this year's opener.
