Rory McIlroy

[Sidney]

Looks like it might be the only silverware hoisted there this year

That's the most horrible looking thing* I've seen in years.

*McIlroy's face, not the suit, although that's horrible too.

He thinks highly of you too lol

Lol? Loyal Orange Lodge, I presume?

Probably only gave him the ball because he was wearing a green shirt and thought he was a taig

Fair play to him for this gesture

Tax deductable and good pr...cynical? what me?

[balladmaker]

Fair play to him, Rory's in a position to do a lot of good and no doubt his foundation will contribute millions to such causes over the coming years.

Jaysus, that is beyond cynical. Golf isn't a popularity contest so I fail to see the value of 'good pr'.

Then you are naive, McIlroy is a business, he is there to sell Nike therfore his brand matters as does his image rights.

Ah I see. He couldn't just be doing something for his community with his money.

I would suspect he doesn't pay tax anymore in the UK or he would be getting shafted, so it's unlikely he's doing it for tax purposes and anyway from my understanding the donation far outweighs what he would be entitled for in relief.

First it was a flag that offended you and now it's his philanthropy

i agree fair play to him, but for most golfers it most certainly is a popularity contest.

In what way is it a popularity contest?

Have a good friend who does a lot of work for this children's charity and told me a fe weeks ago about this,gave £1 million and as far as I know £250k a year for next 4 years.He was their yesterday for MCilroys visit got a lot of golf shirts signed for auction at the golf day he runs for Clik Sargent.Just think we should be proud of what McIlroy has done and will continue to do and I can assure any of you on this board begrudging what Rory has done that the parents of these children don't think like you.Shame on you.

if it for tax purposes so what, at least he's helping out. big corp fiddling tax is the real issue
