Rory McIlroy arrived in Wentworth for the next DP World Tour event, the BMW PGA Championship, which will take place this week. The Northern Irish golfer was accompanied by a very special guest during a practice session ahead of the start of the tournament. He brought his daughter Poppy to the golf course.
The DP World Tour shared a video of McIlroy and his daughter enjoying a little outing. English golfer Tommy Fleetwood had a hilarious interaction with Poppy. He tried to hug her in a really funny way.
The DP World Tour posted the clip with a caption, saying:
“Poppy and her Dad @McIlroyRory.”
Fans jumped into the comments section to write:
