Rory McIlroy's historic second consecutive Masters victory has the golf world buzzing, and one prominent voice believes it's just the beginning of a legendary run. Following his dramatic one-shot triumph over Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy joined an exclusive club, becoming only the fourth player—alongside Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods—to win back-to-back green jackets.

This win signals a new, dominant chapter for the 36-year-old Northern Irishman. Playing with remarkable freedom, McIlroy built the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history, a terrifying prospect for his rivals. Analyst Johnson Wagner, speaking on CBS Sports, sees this as a launchpad for McIlroy to chase down the sport's most hallowed records.

Wagner boldly predicted McIlroy could amass nine or even ten major championships, citing the star's elite physical conditioning and relentless drive. But the most intriguing target might be one of Jack Nicklaus's enduring Augusta records. Wagner suggested McIlroy could set his sights on becoming the oldest Masters champion ever, a title Nicklaus has held since his iconic 1986 win at age 46.

"I think Rory’s the kind of guy... if he gets a stranglehold on those majors in the next few years, I think he’d like the opportunity to be the oldest winner of The Masters Tournament," Wagner said. With his game and fitness, McIlroy could realistically challenge that record when he approaches that age, potentially at the 2036 Masters. For now, the golf world is watching a champion in peak form, with history firmly in his sights.
