One of the best pro golfers of all time, Rory McIlroy, who hails from Northern Ireland, is one of only four players who have won three major tournaments by the age of 25. Before going pro, McIlroy already had success as an amateur player, spending a week at the top spot on the World Amateur Golf Ranking when he was 17 years old. Once he turned professional, he quickly made his presence felt on the European Tour. He first won the tour in 2009, and a year later, he won the PGA Tour for the first time. By 2012, McIlroy had become the youngest player who earned 10 million euros on the European Tour and reached $10 million in career earnings on the PGA tour.
