Rory McIlroy has solidified his place in Masters history by successfully defending his title at Augusta National. The 36-year-old's victory places him among an elite group, becoming just the fourth player to win back-to-back Masters titles.

The closing moments of the game were tense, but McIlroy remained firmly in control, navigating a tricky closing stretch before calmly finishing the job on the green.

The green jacket dilemma has emerged, as typically the defending champion helps the new winner into the iconic blazer. However, in the case of a repeat champion, the responsibility shifts.

When Hootie Johnson presented the jacket to Tiger Woods after his consecutive win in 2002, a similar precedent was followed.

Now, McIlroy's retention of the title has sparked an interesting tradition-related question: who will present the green jacket if he retains his title?
