What’s Next For Justin Rose After Losing Another Masters Playoff? PGA Tour Pro’s Schedule Explored

Of course, it stings when you’re that close to victory—when you’ve played your heart out, carded a near-perfect round, and still, the win slips through your fingers. And when the prize is none other than the Green Jacket, it stings a little harder.

Yes, we’re talking about Justin Rose, the runner-up at the 2025 Masters Tournament. He brought his A-game to Augusta, worked hard, stayed calm under pressure, and delivered a fantastic final-round 66. That score placed him just one shot behind the champion Rory McIlroy, even ahead of world no.1 Scottie Scheffler, who finished fourth.

But golf, as always, is a game of inches and history. And while Rose didn’t clinch the trophy, he’s still chasing his first PGA Tour win of the season, already stacking up three Top 10s and three Top 25s in 2025.

What’s the first stop for Justin Rose?

Rose won’t have much time to dwell on the heartbreak. He’s set to tee it up at the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, starting April 17. Just days after the Masters, this event gives him the perfect opportunity to reset and keep the momentum going. He’ll be back in action among a strong field, hoping to channel all that Augusta energy into another standout performance.

Looking a bit further, Rose will return to more familiar grounds at the Genesis Scottish Open, scheduled for July 9–13. It’s a course that treated him well in the past. He won it in 2014, and it could be the ideal prep ahead of The Open Championship later in the month.

And come October, Rose is expected to tee it up at the FedEx Open de France at Le Golf National, marking his first appearance there since Europe’s Ryder Cup triumph in 2018. That tournament will not only mark a return to one of his most memorable venues, but it’s also a reminder that Rose is still all in, balancing his time between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.

With such a well-planned calendar, it’s only a matter of time before Rose lifts a trophy again. And while his game is sharp, what truly sets him apart is something deeper: his sportsmanship.

Despite losing by one shot, Justin Rose celebrated Rory McIlroy’s win

Even with all the disappointment, Rose handled it like a true pro. He didn’t let frustration take over, instead, he chose to celebrate a huge moment for his friend and for the sport.

After draining a clutch 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff with McIlroy, Rose still came up just short. And in the end, McIlroy walked away with the win, the Green Jacket, and the career Grand Slam. But Rose? He walked away with dignity and grace.

“To make the putt on 18, the one you dream about as a kid, and give myself an opportunity was an unbelievable feeling,” Rose said. “Obviously I wanted to be the bad guy today, but still, it’s a momentous occasion for the game of golf. When it was all said and done, I said to him I was glad I was here on this green to witness you win the career Grand Slam.”

So what’s next for Justin Rose? A packed schedule, a game that’s looking sharp, and a mindset that champions are built on. Sure, the Green Jacket slipped away—for now—but Rose isn’t done. Not even close.

Keep your eyes on him this season. He’s not just chasing wins—he’s chasing greatness, with grace.
