3. Gary Player
4. Jack Nicklaus
5. Tiger Woods

The Bills Mafia Will Be Pulling for McIlroy in Augusta

Bills QB Josh Allen and Mr. McIlroy are fans of one another. In May 2023, Mr. Allen and Von Miller went “to the PGA Championship in Rochester, N.Y. and paid a visit with golf star Rory McIlroy.”

“Well, now you’re a real Bills fan,” Mr. Allen told Mr. McIlroy. “You’re going to have Bills mafia calling you.”

As Mr. McIlroy seeks to win the 2024 Masters title, the Bills Mafia will be in his corner.
