Rory McIlroy Recreates Childhood Washing Machine Chipping Game in Jimmy Fallon Video

Fresh off his 2025 Masters victory, Rory McIlroy turned back the clock during an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

McIlroy and Fallon participated in a challenge to chip balls into a washing machine, which the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world won easily.

The game was a throwback to his famous appearance on a 1999 Irish talk show as an eight-year-old, showing his budding golf skills by chipping balls into a washing machine.

McIlroy earned his first green jacket with a win at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, completing a career grand slam.

He became the sixth golfer to accomplish the feat and the first since 2000. McIlroy joined Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to secure a career grand slam.
