World No.1 Rory McIlroy confirmed last night he had signed on with sportswear and equipment giant Nike in a deal believed to be one the biggest sponsorship contracts in sport.
With the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque lit up in the background, McIlroy stepped onto a stage wearing the Nike swoosh and revealed
the clubs he will take into competition - starting at this week's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in the UAE capital.
No exact details of what the deal was worth were released, but press reports have estimated it could bring the 23-year-old
Northern Irishman up to $250 million over the next 10 years.
