Where is Rory McIlroy from?

Rory McIlroy was born in Holywood, Northern Ireland. It was there that he became a golf prodigy, and at age seven he was admitted as a member of the Holywood Golf Club. In 2013, six years after turning professional, McIlroy bought a home in Florida, eventually settling on the state’s exclusive Jupiter Island. He later acquired property near London. While he divides his time between those two residences, McIlroy has said that “Northern Ireland will always be home.”
