Rory McIlroy changes his X bio to a bold three-word statement after winning the Masters

With the reality of his Masters conquest still sinking in, Rory McIlroy has rebranded himself online.

The six-time Major champion has ditched his long-standing bio on X for something a little more punchy.

McIlroy, 35, was made to wait for his glorious moment after his meltdown at the 2011 Masters, and it had been 11 years since his last Major title.

But finally, via a nerve-wracking playoff against Justin Rose, McIlroy achieved the holy grail for golfers: the Career Grand Slam.

Only six men have won the Career Grand Slam, which involves winning the Masters, PGA Championship, the US Open, and The Open Championship.

And so McIlroy turfed out his old X bio, ‘I hit a little white ball around a field sometimes!’, for something less subtle.

His bio now reads: ‘Grand Slam winner’. He has also changed his profile picture of him lifting the Masters Trophy in the green jacket.

McIlroy has around 3.2 million followers on the social media site and yesterday shared an emotional post featuring a photo of him lifting the Masters Trophy.

‘Dreams do come true,’ he wrote in a post whcih has been seen 3.3 million times.

It was the culmination of years of practice since childhood.

His father Gerry, 65, once told the Mail on Sunday: ‘I played golf because, as a boy, I lived in a council house 200 yards from Holywood Golf Club.’

‘I spent all my summers there with my two brothers and my dad. I used to bring Rory to the practice ground when I played plenty.

‘I’ve got a picture of him hitting a ball when he is one year, nine months old and wearing cords and a sweater knitted by his mother!

‘I caddied for Rory and travelled all over Ireland and the States with him, but I learned to give him space. I’ve seen parents ruin good golfers.’
