Rory is the son of Rosie and Gerry McIlroy. He is married to PGA of America employee, Erica Stoll, with whom he has a daughter.
McIlroy was raised Catholic. He carries a British passport. He has described himself as Irish, Northern Irish, and British. He has stated:
I feel Northern Irish and obviously being from Northern Ireland you have a connection to Ireland and a connection to the UK… If I could and there was a Northern Irish team I’d play for Northern Ireland.
Rory’s paternal grandfather was named Jimmy McIlroy. Jimmy was from Belfast, Ulster, Northern Ireland.
Rory’s maternal grandfather was surnamed McDonald.
There is no Northern Irish ethnicity. It is like a white American claiming American ethnicity. It does not exist. Indigenous Americans are the natives and they usually ethnically identify back to their their tribes.
In this picture is Hispanic on net is British and looks ten-twenty years older.
But he’s only 36.
He is Northern Irish/Scottish…yeah that’s what happens when you are a golfer constantly under the sun, a bit freckled, and dark-haired turn grey earlier.
