Yes, Rory McIlroy owns a private jet and regularly uses it for travel between tournaments. He currently flies a Gulfstream G650ER, one of the most modern luxury jets in the world, which he transitioned to in recent years.
His jet even played a role in his preparation for the Masters tournament. Before the 2026 tournament, Rory mentioned that he often makes day trips from his home in Florida to Augusta, arriving for practice rounds and returning home the same day to spend time with his wife and daughter.
According to the Daily Mail, he said: «Honestly, I don’t like the three tournaments leading up to this event. I would prefer to come here. I spent a couple of days taking Poppy to school, and then I flew here, played, landed back home, and had dinner with her or with Erica».
The 2026 Masters tournament had a record prize pool of $ 22.5 million, making it one of the richest tournaments in golf history. The winner received a massive prize of $ 4.5 million, which was the largest payout ever awarded in Augusta.
The other participants also significantly increased their earnings. The second place earned about $ 2.43 million, while third place received approximately $ 1.53 million, with payouts gradually decreasing as they moved down the leaderboard. Even players who did not make the cut still received compensation, usually around $ 25,000.
According to estimates from Celebrity Net Worth, Rory’s net worth is around $ 250 million.
Throughout his career, Rory has built his fortune through a combination of tournament winnings and major endorsement deals. In addition to earning millions on the course, he has secured lucrative partnerships with global brands such as Nike and TaylorMade, which make up a significant portion of his income
