The current world number one, Rory McIlroy is one of a kind. From Holywood in County Down, Ireland, McIlroy is despite his tender years a legend of golf, with two major tournament victories to his name already. In 2011 he won the US Open with a record score of 16-under-par with an eight-shot victory, before taking the 2012 PGA Championship a year later at Kiawah Island.
Considered the most exciting young golfing talent since Tiger Woods, he was recently named the second most marketable man in sport and is loved the world over for his determination and affable style.
