While speaking on the I Can Fly podcast, the Northern Irishman stated that from a very young age, he had been taught to use money efficiently. He added that buying another house is not a right way to put that money to good use. Instead, he explained that it should be used in a way which would benefit people.
“So whether it goes back to like investing or in business there are certain things that I would like to achieve. And I think than being able to I think this is really important and something that’s being instilled in me from a very early age is you obviously can create this incredible platform and you can have a lot of success and you can make a lot of money.”
Rory McIlroy added by saying,
“But what are you going to do with it like actually do with it not buy another house or but actually put it to good use and put it to work so that other people can benefit from it.”

Rory McIlroy wanted to promote better lifestyle and diet and also look after the planet in an affirmative way.
“And I’ve been very fortunate in my life that there hasn’t really been one event that has sort of put me on a path of what that looks like. But like the mental health or the prevalence of like autoimmunity these days and just trying to educate people on food and diet and holistic ways to look after themselves and look after the planet. I think it’s a goal of mine right now. But I think in the future that would be something that I really want to try to get into more,” McIlroy said.
