Full Swing: Rory McIlroy net worth (and 5 things you might not know about the golfer)

A four-time Majors winner and the number one top-ranking golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy is among the most famous and talented golfers in the world, so it’s not surprising that he’s featured in Netflix’s new golf documentary series Full Swing.

Born on May 4, 1989, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this talented athlete is 33 and already has an impressive roster of achievements, including 23 PGA Tour wins, 15 European Tour wins, and countless other achievements.

But don’t expect to see much of McIlroy’s personal life showcased in Full Swing. The pro golfer was firm in setting boundaries regarding what the Netflix crew could and could not film for the show. Given everything going on in the world of golf and the PGA tour, executive producer Chad Mumm felt it was important for McIlroy’s voice to be represented in the docuseries.

While chatting to Golf Channel, McIlroy explained the ground rules for his involvement:

"“I made sure that the parameters were very much like, look, you can film me at – you’re not coming to my house, you’re not coming in my car, you’re not coming anywhere near my family, but you want to do some stuff with me at golf tournaments, totally fine. They were the ground rules that were sort of set, and here we are.”"

Furthermore, McIlroy has said he’s open to an in-round interview similar to the previous ones Max Homa and Keith Mitchell did.

“It would take a little bit of convincing for me, but I’d certainly be open to it,” he said.
