Rory Mcilroys net assets becomes boost when the PGA champions star £ 35 million | up | Golf | sport

Rory Mcilroy's net assets rose by £ 35 million last year. According to the New Sunday Times Rich List, he has a fortune of £ 260 million compared to the 225 million GBP, which he rated 12 months ago.

The 37th edition of the list describes the 350 richest people in Great Britain. McIlroy is also one of the wealthiest under the 1940s in Great Britain and secures the 19th place on this list and the first in Northern Ireland. However, the actual assets of the County Down star could be even greater, since the list is not taken into account for bank credit. It is compiled on the basis of identifiable assets, including land, property, art, racing horse ownership and considerable shares in publicly listed companies. Last month, the 36-year-old finally reached the career grand Slam, 11 years after his previous big title. In his Master victory, he stopped $ 4.2 million (approximately 3.15 million GBP) and took his total revenue from the PGA tour to around 80 million GBP.

The combined assets of the 350 people on the list amount to £ 772.8 billion, a decrease of three percent compared to the previous year. The list was created by business journalist Robert Watts, who said: “The Rich list of the Sunday Times changes. Our billionaire has dropped and the combined assets of those who can be seen in our research fall.

“We also find that less of the Superrich of the world live in Great Britain. Our research continues to find a variety of self-made entrepreneurs who find the assets not only from artificial intelligence, video games and new technologies, but also banal everyday objects such as make-up, hadiators and jogging tenges.

“We know that many of our readers find these people and their stories inspire – especially the many who had hard starts or setbacks to their life and career.” Mcilroy's play-off victory over Justin Rose in Augusta made him only the sixth male golfer to complete the career grand slam, and gave him a fifth big title, one behind Sir Nick Faldo.

However, he looks like a hard fight against the back-to-back major title after a faulty opening round in the 107th US PGA championship. The Holywood superstar fought with a three-paral-park 74-jhonattan vegas with discouraging 10 shots.

Vegas ended his round shortly before 8 p.m. local time with five birdies in the last six holes to be the first Venezuelan player to lead a major. He enjoyed a two-shot lead against Australia's Cam Davis and North Carolina, the native of Ryan Gerard, Europe's Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, back next to Aaron Rai, Ryan Fox, Alex Smalley and Stephan Jaeger.

The English Matt Fitzpatrick and Scotland's Robert Macintyre were another blow to three lower listeners, together with the US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley and Tyrrell Hatton. Mcilroy, who only met three fairways in the regulation, was lucky enough not to find the water with a series of drawn T shots, and did not speak to the media before he went straight to the range after his round.
