It's a tradition at the Masters that players sign the iconic yellow flags emblazoned with the tournament logo - but only the champion signs their name inside the outline of the United States that appears in the center. Rory McIlroy has been waiting a while to be able to do that, and he's taking every opportunity to do so - 1,100 opportunities, to be exact. McIlroy, 36, revealed to the media on Tuesday, August 19, ahead of the Tour Championship that after winning the Masters in April 2025, there were 1,100 pin flags left at the gift shop.
