McIlroy moved to Florida, the golfing centre of the world, in August 2017. The 33-year-old bought a massive 12,800 square-feet mansion worth $10 million in a golf development area, The Bear’s Club, about 85 miles away from Miami. The gigantic mansion has seven bedrooms and surprisingly has ten bathrooms. Apart from that, it also features a huge balcony in the rear part of the property along with a massive swimming pool. Oh and not to forget it also includes a game room and a home cinema. The property is probably more than sufficient for the world’s number-one golfer.
The PGA tour star bought the huge mansion from his fellow South African golfer, Ernie Els. McIlroy bought his dream mansion shortly after he married the love of his life, Erica Stoll in his homeland Northern Ireland.
Interestingly, according to the popular British media house, ‘The Sun’, Rors’ mansion has an incredible neighborhood. The neighborhood included the houses of both the six-time NBA champion and 23-time Singles Grand Slam winner.
