Rematch from last year
Last year the pair finished tied after 18 holes. McIlroy won in a sudden-death play-off by birdieing the first extra hole. That victory completed his career Grand Slam, making him the sixth player to win all four majors.

Rose earned $2.27 million for his runner-up finish at Augusta last year. His major title came at the 2013 US Open, alongside 24 other professional victories.
Sources estimate Rose’s wealth at about £31.5 million. Mentions of Justin Rose’s Impressive Net Worth underline his long-term success on tour.

They launched the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation in 2009. The charity focuses on helping children in poverty in Florida.
Kate Rose: background and traditions
Kate is a former international gymnast. She served on the PGA Tour Wives Association board between 2006 and 2010.
