From the small town of Holywood in Northern Ireland to becoming a world-famous golfer, Rory McIlroy's story reads like a sports fairy tale. He was only two years old when he was already hitting a plastic club with amazing accuracy. He showed off his amazing skills on local TV. He was the youngest member of Holywood Golf Club when he was six years old. This set the stage for an amazing rise in the sport. McIlroy's natural ability grew with the help of his hardworking father Gerry, who worked multiple jobs to support his son's dream. The best part of his amateur journey was becoming the world's number one amateur at age 17. The teenager with wavy hair and contagious joy quickly caught the attention of golfers everywhere with his rough style and power that seemed natural. McIlroy's rise was rapid after he turned pro in 2007. By the time he was 22, he had broken all kinds of records to win his first major tournament, the 2011 U.S. Open. With four major wins by age 25, he joined Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as one of the best golfers of all time. In addition to his wins, McIlroy's charismatic personality, honest interviews, and dedication to improving the game have made him a worldwide sporting icon that goes beyond the limits of his sport.
