Rory McIlroy has amassed some staggering earnings during his career, on and off the fairways.
The Holywood golfer has risen to the top in his sport, winning some eye-watering prize money to go alongside endorsements, promotional deals and his own business ventures.
McIlroy is a three-time FedEx Cup and four-time Race to Dubai/DP World Tour Rankings winner, and has also claimed four majors during his career.

His earnings through golf alone exceed $100m in the PGA Tour, and over €43 million on the DP World Tour. That figure doesn't include his four Race to Dubai victories either, which would have netted him around $10 million.
As far as endorsements go, McIlroy was previously sponsored by the likes of Titleist, FootJoy, Jumeirah and EA Sports.
He is currently backed by companies including TaylorMade, Nike, NBC Sports/Golf Pass, Omega, Optum and Workday, and last year he founded the tech-focused TMRW Sports with Tiger Woods which launches the TGL golf league next year.
All that factored in, it should comes as no surprise to hear that McIlroy topped the recent list of UK's richest sportspeople aged under 35.
According to the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List., published on May 19, McIlroy is worth an estimated £200m.
Robert Watts, compiler of the Sunday Times Rich List, said: "This year's Sunday Times Rich List shows a golden period for the super-rich is over. For the first time in 14 years we've seen the number of UK billionaires fall.
"Two years ago we raised concerns about an unsettling boom in the fortunes of the very wealthy that continued unchecked during the political instability around Brexit and the pandemic. This is not a crash - but there are household names who have lost vast sums over the past year.
"The bursting of the tech bubble, the end of rock bottom interests and the jitters creeping through the banking industry have all taken their toll.
“The super rich don't exist in a vacuum. Many small investors lost money in some of their overblown stock market floats. Many people also work for their businesses. Financial losses for billionaires can have implications for us all."
