Rory McIlroy's gorgeous Florida home, worth $10 million, with a cinema and recording studio purchased from Ernie Els

RORY MCILROY has made a great stride since his humble childhood home in Belfast.

33-year-old PGA Tour star owns a huge 12,800-square foot Florida home that Ernie Els, the legendary PGA player, purchased for $10million.

McIlroy moved to Jupiter, the golf capital of the globe in August 2017.

He purchased a $10m home in The Bear's Club. This golf development was established by Jack Nicklaus and is 85 miles north from Miami.

He got it just a few months after Erica Stoll, his lavish Irish wedding, had given birth to him.

McIlroy was not the first to own this luxury property. It had been owned previously by Ernie Els.

This incredible neighborhood was home to Michael Jordan, a basketball legend, and tennis royalty in Serena & Venus Williams. Also, fellow golfers Luke Donald, Michelle Wie, and Els.

EL OF A PAD

McIlroy somehow managed to get even more bathrooms.

This massive property measures over 12,800 sq. feet and has seven bedrooms and TEN bathrooms.

The property's back yard has a large balcony that overlooks the tranquil swimming pool.

McIlroy's home is a haven for young multi-millionaires, featuring a recording studio and games room, a huge pool, and a home cinema.

It's still a far cry from where he grew.

FAMILY HOME

McIlroy was raised by Rosie and Gerry McIlroy's parents in their four-bedroom home in Holywood, Northern Ireland.

Gerry adapted it to make it a dream for young golfers.

Although a trampoline was found in the backyard, it was hidden behind a practice putting green.

McIlroy was the 2014 Open champion. He had his own simulator in the garage.

Father Gerry transformed the space into an area where McIlroy, a young curly-haired man, could practice his swing and ball-striking. Two TVs were connected to the system.

Holywood Golf was only a 20-minute drive from his home.

FIRST TIME BUYER

McIlroy was not a typical first-time buyer when he sold his family home.

McIlroy purchased Robinhall House in Moneyreagh County Down for $3.8m.

McIlroy's own driving range, put green, and practice area included seven bunkers.

There was also an outdoor hot tub, a movie theater, and a lake with 1,200 trout. He could also play tennis with Caroline Wozniacki, his ex-girlfriend and former world No1 Caroline Wozniacki.

McIlroy, who was en route to America in 2013, sold the estate for $3m.

AMERICAN DREAM

McIlroy made a move to Florida, where he was able to enjoy a beautiful Florida home.

The Palm Beach Gardens $11.2m home featured six bedrooms, a gym and an outdoor swimming pool. There was also a putting green.

The expansive lounge area leads to a tranquil patio that is surrounded by the pool.

The water flowed along the mansion's side to a water feature.

The NINE bathrooms include the en suite for master bedroom, which features a whirlpool at the centre.

The private gym featured a weight section, a bike, treadmill, and a huge TV screen mounted on a wall-length mirror.

McIlroy could relax in the games room with its pool table and huge sliding doors that opened onto the pool area.
