Now, this year, McIlroy is the world’s third best golfer behind Rahm and Scheffler according to the Official World Golf Rankings. McIlroy won his third Dubai Desert Classic earlier this year and recently earned a 24th PGA Tour title at the Genesis Scottish Open.

Just like Tiger Woods’ Nike deal, McIlroy has earned millions of dollar over the years.
