Rory McIlroy worth £260m after Masters triumph as Sunday Times Rich List sees golf icon take top spot of sports stars
GOLF superstar Rory McIlroy now has a net worth of £260million following his incredible Masters win.

McIlroy also took home £3.2m ($4.2m) in prize money from the tournament.
He is now ranked as the top British sports star in the Sunday Times Wealthiest 40 Under 40 Rich List and 19th overall.
The sports star with the next-highest net worth is Anthony Joshua on £195m, ranked 24th on the list.
Tennis legend Sir Andy Murray is placed 35th in the overall rankings with a worth of £110m.
And just below him in 38th is England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who is valued at £100m.
They are the only British sports stars on the Rich List.
Also included are the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, Dua Lipa, Adele, Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran and Gymshark CEO Ben Francis.
