Rory McIlroy hits rock bottom after awful PGA Tour finish and £39m bill alongside Tiger Woods

Rory McIlroy finished joint second from last in the FedEx St Jude Championship, ending up 68th out of 70 after closing out with a four-over-par 74.

It comes after having to fork out £39million alongside fellow tennis star Tiger Woods to get their new SoFi Center up to scratch.

McIlroy and Woods teamed up as TGL to launch an innovative golf league and was scheduled to open in January earlier this year in Florida.

However, the simulated competition based in West Palm Gardens was postponed by 12 months after severe damage suffered largely to its inflatable domed roof.

Nine months after the incident, to avoid a similar situation breaking out, TGL bosses have had to shell out for a permanent structure, according to The Palm Beach Post.

Costs have piled up into the millions with McIlroy and Woods forking out £39m, with construction starting on March 18.
