Since Rory McIlroy tied for seventh place last week at The Open at Royal Portrush, we’ve seen him twice. Once at a French vacation, and once on a golf course, at a tournament where he wasn’t playing.
Earlier this week, a social media video popped up of a fan saying he saw McIlroy enjoying some rest and relaxation at a Saint-Tropez beach club. With loud music blaring in the background, the fan asked McIlroy where he was keeping the green jacket these days. McIlroy, in an all-time response, simply said, “it’s on the yacht.”
On Sunday, the DP World Tour posted a video on social media of McIlroy in attendance at the ISPS HANDA Senior Open at Sunningdale in England. McIlroy was shaking hands with those in attendance and was seen taking a photo with a young fan. It is not immediately known if McIlroy was there for any specific reason. Padraig Harrington held a two-shot lead heading into the final round, looking to win his second senior major this year after winning the U.S. Senior Open.

It’s been an eventful year for McIlroy, of course, as he’s won three PGA Tour events, including the Players Championship and the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam. He trailed Scottie Scheffler in FedEx Cup points as the tour is nearing the playoffs.
The regular season concludes next week at the Wyndham Championship, then goes to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, BMW Championship and Tour Championship in the next three consecutive weeks.
