Rory McIlroy and his childhood mate Harry Diamond are celebrating big time after nabbing their second Masters title! Since 2017, Harry’s been carrying Rory’s bag, helping him chase his golfing dreams. And it sure paid off, with Rory pocketing a cool £3.3m!
In the world of pro golf, caddies typically bag around 10% of the winnings, so Harry’s looking at least £330,000. Not bad for a day on the green, right? Rory reckons this win is as much Harry’s as it is his. After all, they’ve been mates since they were kids, meeting on the putting green at Holywood Golf Club. Rory even calls Harry the “big brother I never had”.
Their first Masters win together was last year, making this back-to-back victory extra sweet. Despite the ups and downs, the pair stuck it out and have now silenced their critics in style. Beyond carrying clubs, Harry was a top amateur golfer himself, winning the 2012 West of Ireland Championship. Yet, he keeps things low-key, letting Rory soak up the limelight.
Rory’s amassed up to £90m since Harry took over as caddie, suggesting Harry’s raked in about £9m altogether. Not a bad gig, eh? They’ve truly proved teamwork makes the dream work! 🏌️♂️💸
