Rory McIlroy continues to dominate both on and off the course, especially after his headline-making win at the 2026 Masters Tournament. As one of the sport’s top earners for more than a decade, the golf star has built an impressive fortune through tournament winnings, endorsements, and business ventures.
From his Masters payout to his overall net worth—and even how he travels—here’s what we know about Rory’s finances and lifestyle.
Yes, Rory owns a private jet and regularly uses it to travel between tournaments. He currently flies on a Gulfstream G650ER, one of the most advanced luxury jets in the world, which he upgraded to in recent years.

His jet has even played a role in his preparation for The Masters Tournament. Ahead of the 2026 tournament, Rory revealed that he was making frequent day trips from his home in Florida to Augusta, flying in for practice rounds and returning home the same day to spend time with his wife and daughter.
Per the Daily Mail, he said, “I honestly just don’t like the three tournaments leading up to this event. I’d rather come up here. I did a couple of days where I dropped Poppy to school. “Then flew up here, played, landed back home and had dinner with her or had dinner with Erica.”
The 2026 Masters featured a record-breaking $22.5 million total purse, making it one of the richest tournaments in golf history. The winner took home a massive $4.5 million prize, the largest payout ever awarded at Augusta.
