His two-shot victory ahead of Justin Rose saw him end a ten-year wait for a Grand Slam title in Augusta.
The Northern Irishman was presented with the green jacket later on by 2024 winner Scheffler.
The American was asked to present McIlroy with the green jacket by chairman of the Augusta National Golf Club, Fred Ridley.
McIlroy, 35, and Scheffler, 28, stood up from their seats, with Scheffler then placing the jacket around the new Masters champion.
The World No.1 then placed the jacket around the World No.2, with McIlroy heard saying: “Thanks, Scottie.”
After a slightly awkward presenting of the jacket with McIlroy struggling to get his right arm into the sleeve, McIlroy took a deep breath.
Ridley, 72, then said, “congratulations Rory,” and extended his hand for a handshake.
McIlroy then turned around to shake his hand and replied: “Thanks, Fred.”
However, after putting the jacket on McIlroy, Scheffler had quickly moved back and walked off.
Fans were not happy with the move, with one saying on social media: “That was poor from Scheffler. Didn’t even shake his hand. Put the jacket on him and walked off.”

A second said: “Scheffler classless.”
A third added: “What’s the story with Scottie? Not even a ‘well done’ and just melted away. Very awkward.”
Another said: “Very poor from Scheffler.”
Despite this awkward exchange, things were far more amicable on the course with Scheffler presenting the jacket to McIlroy with a smile before embracing one another in a hug.
