Here’s how much Rory McIlroy is worth after his historic Masters win

With another green jacket, McIlroy joined Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, and Jack Nicklaus as the only consecutive winners of the Masters.

And while all of the golfers will say they don’t play the prestigious Masters for the money, it still comes with an impressive winner’s cheque.

McIlroy has previously spoken about being motivated by sporting success over monetary gains, saying ahead of the 2019 Tour Championship: ‘It should be about the prestige of winning an event that you’ll be remembered for.

‘Players might care about it, and we want to be rewarded and paid for what we do, but competitively it’s not about that. It’s about trying to win golf tournaments.’

That may be, but with his success on the putting green has come extraordinary wealth.

The now 36-year-old McIlroy turned professional in 2007 and joined the PGA TOUR in 2010.

 The Co.Down man is already exceedingly wealthy after amassing 29 PGA Tour victories from 277 starts, with 245 cuts made and career earnings exceeding $110.1 million.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, McIlroy’s net worth is $250 million.

After donning the Green Jacket for the second time, McIlroy also pocketed a record $4.5 million winner’s cheque.

That payout pushed his official PGA Tour career earnings to an eye-popping $114,696,641.

The 2026 Masters purse increased to $22.5 million, with each of the top four on the final leaderboard earning over $1 million, while the top 12 will all receive checks for at least $517,500 – and crucially, an invite back for the 2027 Masters. 

Spare a thought for Shane Lowry, who at the end of day three was two shots off the lead and in line for a substantial payday, only to fall away on the last day to finish joint 30th.

His earnings dropped tenfold from a guaranteed €500,000 to just €50,000.

Last year, the Sunday Times Rich List reported that McIlroy has a net worth of £260m (€300m). Forbes, meanwhile, estimates his annual earnings at $80.8m.

He has lucrative sponsorship deals with TaylorMade, Nike, NBC Sports/Golf Pass, Omega, Optum, and Workday.

Last year, he also launched his TMRW Sports venture with fellow golfing titan Tiger Woods.

The pair are extremely close despite the 14-year age gap, so much so that Woods, a notorious insomniac, would often text McIlroy at 4 am.

Meanwhile, McIlroy’s wholly-owned Dublin-based Rory McIlroy Management Services Ltd reported turnover of $36.1m and profit of $6.5m in 2023.

TMRW Sports is a weeknight golf league in conjunction with the PGA, played on a virtual course.

The company holds intangible assets valued at $162.9m, including McIlroy’s patents ($135.8m) and trademarks ($27m).
