McIlroy walks the talk as he prepares to clock air miles to grow golf globally

EVEN before he became only the sixth man to complete golf’s career Grand Slam with a win for the ages at the Masters Tournament in April, Rory McIlroy already had a voice in the game, and a big one too.

He often spoke with candour, boldness and purpose on issues that mattered especially during his time as a policy board member on the PGA Tour, and along with Tiger Woods, he is amongst a rare few who is highly respected by his peers and sport’s administrators.
