Who is Rory McIlroy?
Ah, Rory McIlroy. The man, the myth, the Northern Irish golfing magician who swings a club like it’s an extension of his soul. Born on May 4, 1989, in Holywood, Northern Ireland (yes, it’s spelled like that, and no, it’s not the one with the Oscars), Rory was practically destined to be a golfing great.
His father, Gerry McIlroy, was a passionate golfer who saw his son grip a club before he could even hold a spoon properly. Rory’s childhood wasn’t filled with video games or kicking a soccer ball around—it was all about golf. At the age of two, he was already impressing people with his swing, and by nine, he was outdriving grown men at his local club.
Fast forward a few years, and young Rory was making waves in the amateur golf world. He won the West of Ireland Championship at just 15 and became the world’s No. 1 amateur before turning pro in 2007. From that moment on, he was like a golf ball in a strong tailwind—unstoppable.
Rory won his first major at the 2011 U.S. Open, smashing records like a toddler with a new toy. He then added The Open Championship (2014), the PGA Championship (2012 & 2014), and more titles than you can count on your fingers and toes. His game? Explosive. His driving? Absolute thunder. His ability to collapse under pressure? Well, let’s just say 2011’s Masters still gives him nightmares.
But Rory is more than just a golfer. He’s a fitness freak, a businessman, and a guy who isn’t afraid to speak his mind—whether it’s about LIV Golf, slow play, or why his hairline is holding up better than most of his peers. With a net worth that makes most CEOs jealous and a fan base that treats him like a golfing god, McIlroy remains one of the most electrifying players in the world.
Rory McIlroy’s Golf Bag and Equipment
Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 9°, Fujikura Ventus Black 6X shaft
When Rory smashes a drive, it’s like Thor swinging Mjolnir—devastatingly powerful. The TaylorMade Qi10 driver, paired with the Fujikura Ventus Black 6X shaft, ensures he keeps sending rockets down the fairway at 320 yards-plus.
3 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 15°, Fujikura Ventus Black 8X shaft
Because sometimes, hitting a driver is just unfair. Rory’s 3-wood is basically a sniper rifle for those tricky par 5s.
5 Wood: TaylorMade Qi10 18°, Fujikura Ventus Black 9X shaft
More loft, more spin, more ridiculous ball flights. Rory’s 5-wood is a weapon of mass destruction when he wants to attack pins from a distance.
Irons: TaylorMade P760 (4), TaylorMade Rors Proto (5-9) with Project X 7.0 shafts
His irons are custom-made for absolute control and precision. That’s why every approach shot looks like it’s GPS-guided.
Wedges: TaylorMade MG4 46° (09SB), 50° (09SB), 54° (11SB), Titleist Vokey Design WedgeWorks 58° (K), Project X 6.5 shafts
These wedges get so much spin they should come with a ‘no-pepper’ warning. His short game is the reason grown men cry on the PGA Tour.
Putter: Custom torched TaylorMade Spider Tour X3, SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol Tour grip
Because putting is the difference between winning majors and throwing clubs. Rory’s putter is as hot as his driver—most days.
Ball: 2025 TaylorMade TP5
What else would he use? It’s engineered to match his game like a Formula 1 tire.
Grips: Golf Pride MCC grips
Firm, reliable, and built for championship-caliber play.
Rory McIlroy’s Biography and Pebble Beach Performances
Rory’s career has been a rollercoaster of brilliance, heartbreak, and comebacks. From dominating the European Tour as a teenager to becoming a four-time major champion, his journey has been nothing short of legendary.

However, given his track record of figuring courses out, it’s only a matter of time before he conquers Pebble Beach the way he’s conquered other iconic venues.
