Former PGA Tour star Hunter Mahan talks about getting into posting golf content online and the prospect of returning to professional golf.

Somehow, someway, life just got even better for Rory McIlroy.

The Grand Slam winning pro, who has earned more than $200 million on the golf course alone, has entered into a global partnership with DP World. While athletes joining a company is rarely newsworthy, McIlroy's partnership with the logistics company is an exception, thanks to the perk that comes with it.

Moving forward, DP World will release not one, but two fitness and recovery trailers for every tournament that McIlroy will feature on the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour.

"Rory McIlroy's season takes him around the world, but his training and recovery environment doesn't change with it," DP World said in a statement. "In a new multi-year global partnership announced today, DP World will leverage McIlroy's personal fitness and recovery environment from tournament to tournament using its intelligent global logistics network to give him and his team greater consistency wherever he competes."

While McIlroy plays a more limited schedule than earlier in his career, he is still a global player, hitting multiple countries and continents each year.

Shipping two fitness trailers around the world seems like an almost impossible challenge, but DP World has addressed first-hand the potential obstacles it might face logistically.

"At the heart of this partnership are two personalized fitness and recovery trailers that will travel with McIlroy during his PGA Tour and DP World Tour schedules," the statement continued. DP World will manage every step of their journey, from collection and customs clearance to storage and delivery, so everything McIlroy needs for training and recovery is ready when he arrives at each tournament.

McIlroy has long been a major proponent of fitness in professional golf, and his hours in the gym have made him one of the longest hitters in the game. He has also remained consistently healthy over the years, with his last notable injury occurring in 2017 when he suffered a hairline fracture to his chest.

McIlroy has 14 starts on the PGA Tour in 2026, a total that includes each of the four major championships. He is set to make his first start in nearly a month in India's World Cup, which begins on October 15.
