Rory McIlroy went upstairs in the Augusta National clubhouse the night he won the Masters, eager to see the small locker room only for Masters champions. He returned last month to find another locker room not nearly as exclusive but no less impressive.

“They’ve created this unbelievable new Player Services Building, and that’s where the main locker room is going to be,” McIlroy said. “I think the champions will still use the Champions Locker Room. But that new building is IN-CREDIBLE.”

He paused to smile before adding, “Take my word for it.”
