Rory McIlroy has an estimated net worth of $20 million

Rory McIlroy is an Irish professional golfer with an estimated net worth of $20 million. He is the former World Number One champion. McIlroy is 5’9″ and weighs 161 pounds. Born on May 4, 1989 in Holywood, Northern Ireland, McIlroy learned the game of golf from his father, Gerry, who was an avid golfer himself. McIlroy’s propensity for the game developed at a very early age and according to the family he once hit a 40-yard drive at the age of two. While his father worked several jobs to facilitate his early career, his mother also took on additional shifts to give him the opportunity to pursue a sporting career. The work paid off early as he won the World Championships for 9-10 year olds in the early 2000s.

Although he planned to play golf in college in the United States, his success at the 2005 West of Ireland Championships and the Irish close Championships in 2005 convinced him to continue playing as an amateur in Europe until 2007, when he became a professional. He earned close to $455,000 in his first year and secured his playing card on the European Tour in 2008 after finishing fourth at the Open de Madrid Valle Romano. From there, the positive results would start to roll in, including a second place finish in 2008 (after losing in a playoff) and six Top-Ten finishes that year. The next year he finished in the top-10 at the U.S. Open, broke the top-10 world rankings at the end of the year and won his first professional tournament, the Dubai Desert Classic.

In 2010, McIlroy made a splash in the U.S. when he won his first PGA tournament, the Quail Hollow Championships. But that would pale in comparison to his next pro win, the 2011 U.S. Open, his first major championship. Just over a year later, he would capture his second major, at the 2012 PGA Championship. In total, McIlroy has won 6 PGA tournaments, 5 European Tour wins, several other professional tournaments and finished 2012 as the leading money winner – after coming in second in 2011. He dated former World No. 1 tennis player Caroline Wozniacki for several years although they reportedly broke up in 2013.
