The insane distance McIlroy hits each of his clubs
Since bursting onto the scene over a decade ago, Rory McIlroy has consistently been one of the biggest hitters on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
Frequently bombing his driver over 320 yards to the amazement of everyone, there’s few golfers on the planet who can match what the newly crowned World No 1 produces off the tee.
But have you ever wondered how far McIlroy hits the other golf clubs in his TaylorMade bag?
Well, thanks to our good friends over at the California-based brand, now we know. And from the sand wedge up to the big stick, McIlroy’s stock yardages are just as insane as you might expect. Just feast your eyes on this…
Simply not fair. Here’s the full line-up of Rory McIlroy’s stock distances, with the missing clubs estimated based on some NCG math and some poking around on Twitter (shout out to The McIlroy Legion).
