The top sports photos of 2025 by AP's photojournalists
By The Associated Press
Rory McIlroy let his putter fly high, put his head in his hands and dropped to
his knees as fans celebrated wildly at Augusta National. McIlroy's sheer relief
was laid bare as he ended his long wait to win the Masters and complete a
career Grand Slam.
Associated Press photographers were there to capture the raw emotion and
unforgettable images as McIlroy won a playoff against Justin Rose.
And they were there to capture the perfect shot of St. Louis Cardinals' Victor
Scott II sliding home to score against the San Francisco Giants in September.
They are just two of the best sports images caught by AP photographers in 2025.
A stunning set of pictures include the Philadelphia Eagles' celebrations after
winning the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs and England's Lucy Bronze
converting a penalty in the Women's European Championship, which the Lionesses
went on to win.
As well as some of the year's biggest triumphs, AP photographers captured
moments at the heart of the action like the Netherlands' Dani Baijens getting a
finger in the eye as he tried to score at the Handball Men's World Championship
--- and New Zealand's Jorja Miller being tugged back by her hair as she tries
to race away at the Women's Rugby World Cup.
Here are The AP's top sports photos of 2025.
