Rory McIlroy Signed TaylorMade 2019 Major Championship Commemorative Edition Golf Bag
You can't miss it! Just below 'RORY MCILROY' and NBC's 'GOLFPASS' is the polarizing subject's silver paint pen signature on the navy blue main pocket of this 2019 Open Championship tour-grade limited edition bag that is hard to look away from. Forever connected, Northern Ireland native Rory McIlroy shot the Royal Portrush Golf Club Old Course record of 61 at just 16 years old (2005) - which still holds. Amassing 36 wins, including an Open Championship and three other major championships, the once curly haired phenom has transitioned into mainstay star-power and spokesman of the PGA tour. This bag was carefully crafted by the leading golf manufacturer to mimic Rory McIlroy's own bag that week.
In somewhat surprising fashion, the contest marked the first time Harry Colt's masterpiece played host of The Open Championship since 1951 (subtly noted in white on this bag's red handle). In celebration, the TaylorMade design team considered each painstaking detail of the staff club bag inside and out. They "created a staff bag for the Open Championship that brings to life the shifting sands, castle ruins and mysterious legends that dwell within the rugged hills of Northern Ireland." It is a navy blue, maroon and gray color scheme - a tilt of the cap towards the Royal Portrush Golf Club's own branding. The maker's website delve deeper into the club's unique terrain and geographical points of emphasis. "Perched daringly close to the ocean depths, the famous Dunluce Castle can be found just beyond the northern reach of Royal Portrush’s grounds (and on the bag as well). The famed castle dates back to the 12th century and is known around the world as a treasured landmark of Northern Ireland. The Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush is the namesake of this iconic stronghold. Embroidered on the bag’s ball pouch, the castle remains are regally emphasized by the lush greenery that surrounds the jagged gray rocks." Hexagonal columns paying homage to the Giant's Causeway, an "ancient tale of how the large pillars were said to be removed by an Irish giant after crossing the North Channel to fight his Scottish adversary." The whiskey connoisseur was not neglected, referenced in the distillery logo pattern lining exposed with the unzipping of the main pocket. TaylorMade runs prominently down the sides of this full size Rory McIlroy bag boasting the nearly pristine investor grade condition. Without a doubt, this Rory McIlroy silver-signed TaylorMade bag will turn heads in your memorabilia room - a nod to the generational talent.
