CBS reporter Amanda Balionis was at Augusta National this past weekend to cover the last two rounds of the 2025 Masters. It didn't take long for her to go viral on social media. 

Balionis joined CBS Sports in 2017 and immediately helped improve the network's golf coverage. Over the past few years, the Hofstra University graduate has become one of the most popular reporters in all of sports. After all, she currently has more than 340,000 Instagram followers. 

Shortly after Rory McIlroy defeated Justin Rose in a playoff, he sat down with Balionis to talk about his first career green jacket. She sent the five-time major champion a classy message following their interview.  

"It took 17 Masters starts, 11 years of attempting to complete the career Grand Slam and 73 this week but Rory McIlroy has his Green Jacket and has solidified his legacy alongside Tiger, Jack, Gary, Hogan and Sarazen. What a week and a battle down to the very end," she wrote.

Although the Masters are in the rearview mirror, Balionis isn't ready to move on just yet. 

On Tuesday afternoon, Balionis shared a handful of photos from her time in Augusta. 

"2025 has been all about gratitude and last week was no exception," Balionis wrote on Instagram. "So grateful for these experiences, the people I get to learn from and work with and for those who somehow make the best job in the world even better. Until next year Augusta."

Though we're not really surprised, Balionis received a ton of love for her wardrobe last weekend. Of course, fans also complimented her work on the sideline. 

"You are really good at what you do," one person said. 

"Such an impressive ability to capture the best and most genuine moments with your post round interviews Amanda," another person wrote. 

Balionis is far from done covering the 2025 golf season for CBS, that's for sure. 

The next major championship on the schedule is the PGA Championship, which will take place from May 15-18.
