Yes, that’s what they’re saying. They’re saying Rory McIlroy signed with Nike for £156 million over 10 years. That’s R2 billion and some change. Not bad going. Click through to watch the first ad they have made with him and Tiger Woods.
According to SkyNews:
Golfer Rory McIlroy has landed a major sponsorship deal with Nike, reportedly worth up to £156m.
The exact value of the agreement was not revealed when it was formally announced in Abu Dhabi but reports say it will earn the 23-year-old anywhere from £62m in a five-year contract to as much as £156m over 10 years.
The larger figure would dwarf Tiger Woods’ £124m 10-year deal with Nike.
It is also significantly bigger than the estimated £100m lifetime deal David Beckham has with Nike’s rival, Adidas.
