He recently took over another one of Tiger's big deals: EA Sports.
Rory's other deals with Bose and Omega make him golf's 3rd-highest-paid player.
He's not afraid to spend his money. He bought a gorgeous $9.5 million house in Florida in 2012.

Another tabloid fixation: his former relationship with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
Wozniacki is the 4th-highest-paid female athlete in the world, raking in $13.7 million per year.

They started dating in 2011, and he went all over the world to watch her play.
On New Year's Eve 2014, they got engaged.
But then, all of a sudden, he broke it off in May of 2014. They had already sent out wedding invitations.
Despite the break-up, Rory has been on fire on the course. He won $1.66 million at the British Open and $1.8 million at the PGA Championship.
His dad won $170,000 too. When Rory was 15 his dad placed a bet that he would win the Open before he turned 25.

Rory has also gotten into impeccable physical shape, putting on 20 pounds of muscle since 2010.
