When Lee Westwood won the Pete McEvoy trophy to end his amateur career at age 17, he started establishing a name for himself.While he doesn't have as many PGA Tour victories as Faldo (and no Majors), he is a very accomplished player on the European Tour.
One of the most accomplished professional golfers to ever hail from Northern Ireland is Rory Mcilroy. In actuality, his financial prowess and wealth extend beyond the sport of golf.
