Who is Rory McIlroy?

Rory McIlroy is a professional golfer born in Northern Ireland. He famously plays on the PGA and European Tours having unanimously slated the controversial LIV Golf Tour. McIlroy is a five time major champion that most recently (2025) won The Masters, to become the sixth ever golfer to complete a career grand slam.

Rory, along with Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods, is one of the only three golfers ever to have won four major titles by the age of 25. Rory went 11 long years between winning his fourth major (PGA Championship) in 2014 to finally capturing his fifth, and the grand slam in 2025.

Aged nine years old, McIlroy won the Under-10 World Championship in Doral, Florida marking him firmly as golf’s next big thing. McIlroy turned professional in 2007 after a very successful amateur career and quickly started racking up the wins. In 2012 he became the youngest player to reach $10 million earnings on the PGA Tour.

Four times he has won the DP World Tour Title and 3 times the Fedex Cup. At the end of 2022, McIlroy returned to World number one for the second time in his career.
