Early Years
Rory McIlroy was born in Northern Ireland, in the town of Holywood, on May 4, 1989. McIlroy started playing golf almost as soon as he could walk. His father, an avid and skilled player, taught him how to play. Rory McIlroy started going to the local golf club when he was very young. At age seven, he became the club's youngest member ever. Rory McIlroy got a golf club for his birthday. He was shown the right way to hold it, and then he was told to sleep with it in the right way that night.
Even though his family wasn't very rich, they worked hard to make sure Rory had the money he needed to become a great golfer. His parents were able to give him the best education because they worked more than one job. They were also able to send Rory to his first big event, the World Championship for boys ages 9 and 10 at the Doral Golf Resort in Miami. The event was won by McIlroy.
Early Career
Rory won the Junior Ryder Cup with the European team when he was 15 years old. He also won titles all over Ireland. In 2005, he was the youngest person to win the West of Ireland Championship and the Irish Close Championship. A year later, he won the European Amateur, which showed that he was getting better. Over the next few years, McIlroy played in the Open Championship, the British Masters, and the Dubai Desert Classic.
Career
In 2007, McIlroy was ready to play golf for a living. His first season went well, and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was where he did the best. By the beginning of 2008, he was one of the world's top 200 players. That year, he almost won the Omega European Masters, but just missed out. By the end of 2008, he was ranked 39th in the world among golfers. In 2009, McIlroy won the Dubai Desert Classic, which was his first win of the year. With this win, he moved up to 16th in the world rankings. He also played in his first Masters Tournament that year, where he came in 20th. After doing well in European games for a while, McIlroy ended 2009 with a world ranking in the top ten.
In 2010, McIlroy won the Quail Hollow Championship, which was his first win on the PGA Tour. McIlroy hadn't even turned 21, so he was the first player to win on the PGA Tour before turning 21 since Tiger Woods. After setting a record for the first round on the Old Course at St. Andrews, he was ranked seventh in the world at the end of 2010.
In 2011, Rory McIlroy was the favorite to win the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. But in the final round, he made a mistake that cost him the win. It was the worst score of any professional player who was in the lead going into the third round. But the next year, McIlroy won the US Open in a shocking way. He beat the second-place player by eight strokes. After this win, he was ranked fourth in the world.
Rory McIlroy came in second place at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in 2012. This made him the number two player in the world at the time. But later that same year, he won the Honda Classic, which put him on top for the first time in his career. That year, McIlroy would take and give up the number one spot several times, but he would finally win enough tournaments to solidify his position as the best golfer.
Rory McIlroy had a rough time in 2013 and the beginning of 2014, but he came back with wins at the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool and the PGA Championship. 2015 was the second time he won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. With more victories, he became one of only three professional players to have won ten PGA tour events and four majors by the time they were 25 years old. After getting more wins in 2016, McIlroy went without any in 2017. In 2018, he was on the Ryder Cup-winning European team. In 2019, he won the Players Championship, and in 2020, he went back to being the best golfer in the world.

Soon after, Nike stopped making golf equipment, so McIlroy was able to get a second $100 million deal with TaylorMade just to promote their equipment. In 2016, he won the FedEx Cup and the $10 million bonus pool that went with it. In 2019, he won the FedEx Cup for the second time and took home a record-breaking $15 million.
