Rory McIlroy Endorsement & Sponsorship Deals
Another reason that Rory McIlroy has a net worth of £200 million+ and has earned upward of $185 million in his career is due to the fact he has various sponsors. Just like Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, the Holywood man is one of the leading athletes on the Nike roster.
Although Nike are McIlroy’s main sponsor, he is also endorsed by several other high-class brands. Some of these include the likes of NBC Sports/Golf , Omega, Optum and Workday. It is estimated that Rory McIlroy is paid $35 million per year from his various sponsors.
Another of McIlroy’s main sponsors are of course TaylorMade. The 1989-born golf prodigy signed a deal with the golf manufacturer back in 2017 worth $10m per year for 10 years. He plays with solely TaylorMade clubs, a TaylorMade golf ball and has a TaylorMade bag.
Just like Tiger Woods’ previous Nike deal, McIlroy has earned millions of dollar over the years. In 2017, the Northern Irishman was extender for another 10 years, which is said to be worth $10 million per year.
His previous Nike deal from 2013-2016 had been worth $20 million per year when he was also using Nike clubs, a Nike ball and a Nike golf bag.
All of these sponsors, along with his earnings on the golf course, are all huge factors in the growth of McIlroy’s net worth.
