Rory McIlroy has arrived back in Northern Ireland after his recent Masters title win at Augusta.
A private jet touched down at George Best Belfast City Airport on Friday, as reported by Belfast Telegraph.
McIlroy, completed the Grand Slam in golf on Sunday, winning the Masters in dramatic fashion in a play-off at Augusta.
His parents Gerry and Rosie did not attend his emotional win and he has returned to Northern Ireland for a private visit.
Holding back tears before he was helped into the Green Jacket by last year’s winner Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy said: “I want to say hello to mum and dad back in Northern Ireland. I can’t wait to see them next week and can’t wait to celebrate with them.”
McIlroy was schooled in Holywood – he first attended St Patrick’s Primary School before moving on to Sullivan Upper School.
His passion for the sport grew from his father, a keen golfer, who took him to the golf course in his pram.
McIlroy’s local course, Holywood Golf Club, is on the slopes of the Holywood hills.
McIlroy turned professional in 2007 and won his first major in 2011 at the US Open, and in 2012 he won the PGA Championship in 2012.
He then won The Open in 2014, leaving the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.
