Surprisingly, McIlroy’s golfing victories alone have earned him $70 million (£57.8 million) in earnings.

In truth, majority of McIlroy’s wealth comes from endorsements and commercial deals. According to reports, McIlroy makes around $37 million (£30.6 million) annually from his longtime Nike sponsorship. Additionally, it is said that he has an agreement with TaylorMade worth $100 million (£83 million) for over a decade.

Golf has long been a lucrative sport, and this trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Tiger Woods, a golfing icon, joined Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the athlete with a net worth of $1 billion, which came as a result of brand endorsements and professional golf victories; McIlroy is one among a number of his contemporaries attempting to accomplish this achievement.

Much to the delight of his fans, McIlroy has publicly stated that he won’t “tarnish” his reputation for “extra millions.” But one could only imagine what amount of money the Tour would offer McIlroy if he considered making the jump.
