Rory McIlroy is considering a move to join the US Tour next year,and who can blame him.Already a superstar in the World at 20 years of age,even through he has only won one tournament since turning Professional last year.
Compere the money on offer in the US compared to Europe and you can see why it would be tempting.
Tiger has won $10,508.163 from 17 outings,plus the $10Million he won for the FedEx Cup.In Europe Martin Kaymer has won 1,982,055Euros from 16 starts as No1 player.Even taking into account the difference between the Euro and the Dollar Tiger is still over 7Million ahead of Kaymer.
McIlroy has 1,726,927 Euros from 19 outings and is in 3rd place in the Race to Dubai,while Phil Mickleson is 3rd in the US with $5,332,755 from 18 events plus his $3Million bonus from the FedEx.
Padraig Harrington only came good over the last 6 outings in America,yet he is 19th in their Merit table with $2,628,377 from 20 tournaments.19th in Europe is Ernie Els with 847,963 Euros from 13 outings(230,000 of that was earned in the US Majors)
I can only think Rory will make the move sooner rather than later.With his long hitting and his short game improving all the time,he will make a fortune and improve his World ranking quicker.
GOOD LUCK RORY !!!!!!!!
