Rory McIlroy's Height
5ft 8 (172.7 cm)
Northern Irish Professional Golfer. In the Irish Times he said about his stature, "Tiger gives me stick about being short. He always asks me, 'Seriously, how tall are you?' I'll say, '5-foot-9.' 'Yeah, but without the hair? That's 5-7, right? He'll ask me, 'What do you do when Caroline [Wozniacki, McIlroy's former girlfriend] wears heels?'"

He's 5 feet 9 for a fact. I'm measured accurately for Police medical at 5 10 and he's just short when I stood beside him for a photo. Nonsense he's shorter. I have the photo to prove it.
McIlroy is 1" shorter than 5'9 Schauffele, who is 1" shorter than 5'10 Cantlay. No way 5'9 for McIlroy. At best, he's 5'8.

Dustin Johnson I feel is closer to 6’3 than 6’4, similar in height to Liam Hemsworth perhaps.
I’ve seen him in person and had pegged him at a strong 6’3 or so, but I didn’t get super close to him. Somewhere in the 6’3 range seems likely though, doubt he’d measure under it.
Matt Kuchar noticeably edges him out though, and I can confirm that he is a legitimate 6’4 having seen him in person too.
I still think Rory is 5’7 range though.

Rob, I think a downgrade would be appropriate for Mcilroy. But meh, I guess it’s not a huge deal if he’s left at 5’8 even though he’s very likely under it.

He’s not even 5’8 I don’t think. I don’t even know if he is the full 172 cm either. Could be like 171.5 cm range.
When looking at photos of him with Niall, it seems like Niall could be slightly taller than Rory and I think Niall might be the full 5’8 these days.

Rob,
Can you take a look at the pictures I left on Rickie Fowler's page? Rory needs an appropriate downgrade; 5'8" is a bit too much.

I have seen so many of them at the tournament here at the TPC. Most of them are shorter than they say. I am 6'0," and I am taller than most by a large margin. Rory is maybe 5' 7." Tiger is maybe 5' 10," and Dustin in probably around 6' 2.5" or 6' 3."

Technically three very best golf swing ever, yes I said ever.However, from 60to100yards you should be within 7feet 95% of the time,and from115to150yards you should be within 12feet100% of the time. This is of course from the fairway.Work harder on your short game and history will mark you the greatest of ask time.By the way, was'nt Ben Hogan 5'9" tall? That's pretty tall company.

The green looks fairly flat to be. Flat enough that it couldn't account for the inch difference between the current listings for the two. This is really about as good a shot as you're going to get: flat surface and identical footwear with a fair angle.

Even taking into account what might be (slight) elevation differences on the green - though, they are also very close to one another in these shots; a shoe-length or two difference in each shot - I'm don't think that's an inch difference. There are a few other shots from this event, but Niall is purposefully bent over in them. They look very close in height. Since Niall's height is far more nailed down, this height probably needs to be changed.

Editor Rob it's always a bit more tricky on golf courses. If it was inside it would be more clearer the difference I feel, although 5ft 8.5 for Rory isn't impossible.

Yeah you'd expect the big 6'3-6'4" guys on tour to hit it much further and as you say it's more about technique and the "way" in which power is applied rather than pure brute force. That said though there is a 6 ft 8 300 pound long range driver Mike Dobbyn who holds the record for the longest drive at 551 yards!
Golf is the sort of game you can get really into, much like tennis. I was a member at the local club for a few years before it got too expensive and I remember some summers I used to play nearly every day. My longest drive was only about 240 yards I think though!

@Phil Are you sure on Fowler being a proper 5 ft 8? I saw him and Rory walking together at the Open and could have sworn McIlroy had him by between 1 and 2 inches. He looks more 5 ft 7 range to me. I think 174 is spot on for Rory. He's that sort of height which can look average at times and short next to 6 fters.

Seeing him in real life at the Open he definitely appears taller than you think. Wouldn't surprise me if he's just a hair over 5'9, but definitely no taller than 5'10, definitely not 5'8. Rickie Fowler is a legit 5'8 and he's definitely slightly taller than him. They still all hit it bloody miles though

@Sharpshooter He can drive as far as 400 yards with wind assistance true, but his average drive is something like 305 yards. Still in the top 10 longest hitters on tour, yup. He can hit further than some of the big 6'3-6'4" players.

@Sharpshooter. I didn't say he was better than Tiger. Peak Tiger was pretty awesome and arguably the greatest golfing talent of all time, but McIlroy's all round game when he's at his best I think is certainly right up there with the very best, at times even better. He has flashes of brilliance.

Rory looks shorter compared to most golfers though definitely one of the shorter ones on the tour. Given his short and slight stature its staggering how he can hit a driver 400 yards, shows you its all technique and not power.
@Arch Stanton
I personally can't stand Tiger Woods, but no way is Rory better than Tiger at his best, nonsense. British commentators will go over the top with locals, typically. Tiger had won his 8th major when his 26, he's also won calendar slam (winning 4 majors consecutively) and currently has 109 professional wins. Rory has 13, a great player, but I would be very surprised if surpasses Woods/Nicklaus totals. He's flavour of the month right now.

Tiger could give him all the stick in the world but he'll never be as good a golfer as McIlroy any more!! When McIlroy is at his best as the commentator said yesterday he's easily as good as any golfer has ever been, if not better. His two eagles yesterday were staggering.

He looks average compared to some and short next to others. He definitely gives a taller impression than Matt Damon look-alike Luke Donald though who surely can't be a hair over 5 ft 7. Luke Donald looks the spitting image of Matt Damon at first glance LOL!

That's because 174cm IS average.
173-178cm is the average range.

Watching him currently on the Open and he doesn't really give off a short impression at all. Seeing him tee off and all that he looks average height.

I think he'd measure very similar to Rob on the stadio. I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's definitely punching way above his weight with Wozniacki!

McIlroy seems slightly taller than Wozniacki, when are both barefoot, to be honest. Click Here
And Serena Williams seems a shy taller than Caroline, too. Click Here
Click Here
So I think Rory McIlroy is the same height as Serena Williams: 5'9 (175 cms). As she is listed everywhere and as claimed by herself.
Wozniacki's 177 cms claim was a Sharapova-esque joke. She is at best 173 cms.

Like Mike Tyson, his lack of height just makes his ability to generate power, even more impressive. Rory can hit a golf ball an absolute mile, I think he is in the top 10 on the PGA tour for average drive distance.

Caroline is listed as 5-10, but she has been since she got on the pro radar. I believe she was that tall when she was about 12 or 13, but now she is about 6-0. Rory is listed 5-9, but it is established that he is infancy much shorter, I would guess about 5-7. That puts there actually height difference very steep.

I was watching the U.S. Open this morning, and I watched McILroy tee off with Adam Scott and Tiger Woods, who are both 6'0. When Rory walked down the fairway next to Adam, he looked a full 4" shorter...mayber 4.5". I don't believe Rory is any taller than 5'8" flat. I've heard 5'7 1/2" a few times come up for Rory in golf magazines. I think with his shoes on and curly hair, he looks 5'9".

I the first one sak posted looks 5ft5-6.
The next pic looks an easy 5ft8-9.
I would say 173-174cm (5ft8). The first pic they were probably on an uneven ground, thats why he appeared so short. Not quite 5ft9, but a very strong 5ft8.
174cm sounds fair.

Good page! I agree with this because he does like a hair shy of 5'9 next to Wozniacki.
Btw, I think the quote shows Tiger is a bit of a jerk ... I know Rory was re-hashing it as a joke and all and that Im probably being overly sensitive, but it just rubbed me the wrong way reading that. I don't know, seems like only a certain type of guy who would even 'joke' like that.

What a difference being a multi-millionaire makes eh? Would she have looked twice at him if it wasn't for him being the number 1 in the world at golf?
I think you'd be surprised. She's wealthy enough in her own right. Physically, yes, he's not good looking and she looks way out of his league, but he obviously has a fun personality or charm which makes him attractive to her. I don't think she's "gold digging". Look at Peter Sellers, the real life Austin Powers for instance..
-----------------------------------------------
It's not that Caroline Wozniacki would gold dig, but merely the fact that Rory gets the time or day from her because of his popularity and wealth. That opens the door for her to spend time with him and therefore she likes him based off of other things (his charm or personality) - perhaps. But, like Sharpshooter points out... he wouldn't have had her attention otherwise.

Yes, I would buy 5'8.5". His claim of 5'9" is a bit ambitious. Most guys round up their height to the next inch.

If shes 177cm and 4 inch heels on(3 inch advantage over 1 inch shoes), she is 187cm? If shes 187cm there is no way hes 174cm(176 range in shoes).
That is much more than a 10cm difference!
Id say that looks a near 6 inch difference! Wozniacki can see well over his head so at least 5 inch then not forgetting his hair is very thick..
187cm - 15cm = 172cm. So rory is IMO appearing 170cm(5'7) barefoot in the pic. The stride could make his lose a little but I still think he cant be any taller than 5'8 rob?

@Dean, Wozniacki is 175 barefoot. I doubt those heels give 15cm of added height. I think they give 12-13cm.
175+13cm=188cm She is 188cm/6f2 with the heels on.
Rory goes from 174>177cm/5f9.5.
The difference between the couple is 4.5" in that pic.

Editor Rob she's probably got a 3-inch footwear advantage, and maybe he's got a little stride disadvantage.
