The No. 1 player in the United States, the No. 1 player in Europe and the No. 1 player in the world, it has been quite the year for Rory McIlroy. After being crowned the PGA Tour' s top player with a third FedEx Cup win in the summer, McIlroy followed this by also taking the DP World Tour's seasonal crown for a fourth time last Sunday.
In between his Tour titles, the Northern Irishman also made a return to the top of the world rankings to further assert his dominance on the sport. McIlroy's thrown at the top of the golfing globe has not only been secured on the course though.
Away from the fairways the four-time major champion has also acclaimed the role of golf's moral compass amid a turbulent time for the sport.
