Rory McIlroy has clinched the 2025 Masters, securing his position as one of Ireland's most successful sports figures and becoming the sixth player to achieve a Grand Slam victory. In an intense showdown at Augusta National, McIlroy triumphed over Justin Rose in the playoffs to don his premier green jacket.
This victory further inflates McIlroy's impressive earnings, with a handsome $4.2 million USD added to his wealth for the win. An overwhelming wave of emotion overtook the 35 year old on the 18th green after he birdied the first hole of the playoffs, leading him to collapse amidst a deluge of tears.
Reflecting on his victorious moment, McIlroy conveyed: "There was a lot of pent up emotion that just came out on the 18th green. But a moment like that makes all of the years and close calls worth it.", reports the Daily Star.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List in 2023, McIlroy's net worth reached an astounding £225m, while other sources, like Forbes, reported somewhat lesser amounts.
Keeping his private affairs removed from public glare and social media, McIlroy nonetheless made headlines by becoming only the second golfer to surpass the extraordinary $100m (£77.3m) mark in prize money. His recent win at the Players Championship coupled with an impressive performance at last month's Houston Open propelled him to this financial height, trailing only behind Tiger Woods in all-time golf earnings.
McIlroy's wealth is not just accumulated through tournament wins but also through enticing sponsorship agreements.
His shrewd business sense has seen him engage in strategic endorsements, vastly amplifying his financial assets. McIlroy's opulent lifestyle is evident in his Florida residence, boasting an infinity pool, games room, tennis court, home cinema, recording studio and a top-of-the-range gym. The property also features a six-car garage to house his impressive fleet of vehicles.
The golfing icon also possesses a vast mansion in La Quinta, California, as well as a 19th-century estate in County Down, Northern Ireland. This sprawling property spans 200 acres and includes a lake, tennis court and private golf course. Additionally, McIlroy owns a property in his birthplace of Holywood, situated on a 7.5-acre plot complete with six bedrooms and a gym.
His international property portfolio extends to an apartment in New York and a villa in the UAE. McIlroy's car collection is estimated to be worth over £1 million, featuring a Lamborghini Aventador valued from £456,300 as its centrepiece. Other notable vehicles include a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, priced at £280,800, a rare Ferrari F430 valued between £93,600 and £105,300, a BMW i8 potentially worth up to £117,000, and a Range Rover Sport also valued up to £117,000.
