2025 was the most prosperous year for Rory McIlroy. He may not have won two majors as he did back in 2014. But the Irishman still completed his Career Grand Slam. And that ended his 11-year wait to fulfill his goal. However, what was a year of achievements for McIlroy on the course turned out to be less profitable for his firm.

Rory McIlroy earned over $30 million this year. That’s nearly $10 million more than what he achieved last season. However, his firm, the Rory McIlroy Management Services Ltd, generated less revenue than it did in 2024.

Last season, they had recorded $36.12 million in pre-tax revenue. This year, the numbers dropped to $35.4 million, according to RTE.

Other than his earnings from the PGA Tour, which account for nearly $17 million, McIlroy has also earned big paychecks in Europe this year. He earned over $1 million for capturing the 2025 Amgen Irish Open at the K Club. The Grand Slam champion also won his 7th Road to Dubai title a few days ago.

Despite that, the Rory McIlroy Management Services Ltd incurred $720,000 worth of losses. According to RTE, the revenue decreased because of the increase in operating costs of the firm.

Apparently, the organization employed seven high-profile positions at the end of last year. Five of them were hired in director roles, while two were in administrative roles. The directors’ pay had dropped from 2023 to 2024 by $3 million. But the new hires would have certainly increased the employee salaries.

Alternatively, the firm can also expect reduced profits from the discontinuation of the PGA Tour’s Player Impact Program. Rory McIlroy earned $4.5 million from the program for his efforts in 2024. But he won’t be receiving those cheques anymore.

What’s the purpose of Rory McIlroy Management Services Ltd?

Operating out of Dublin, Ireland, Rory McIlroy Management Services Ltd. was established in 2013. The trading company was established with the sole purpose of managing the royalty payments from the Irishman. These can come from his various endorsements, golf exploits, or any other revenue platforms.

Apart from his funds, Rory McIlroy Inc. also manages his image rights and business affairs. That allows the Irishman to have a proper channel of communication to conduct any transactions.

Rory McIlroy himself sits as a board member in the company along with his father, Gerry. Other than them, Sean O’Flaherty, Peter Crowley, and Neill Hughes are also a part of the boardroom team. With the Irishman returning to action for the Australian Open, he will be eager to add to his winnings for the season and possibly increase the revenue for his firm.
