Rory McIlroy's career earnings total so far is $15.8 million. His career in the sport began at an exceptionally young age, as his father first introduced him to gold when he was only 18 months old! Since then he has managed to rise steadily into his present place among successful pro golfers. Mcllroy has not been free from controversy in that time, however. He's been criticized by fans and media for skipping The Players Championship in 2011, when he was one of only two of the top 50 pro golfers in the world not to attend the Championship. He's also earned criticism for comments made on his Twitter account to golfing commentator Jay Towsend. After Townsend criticized Mcllroy's course management, he took to Twitter to say that Townsend is "a failed golfer" whose opinion "means nothing."
