Mencap Denies McIlroy Masters Donation Rumors

Rumors that Rory McIlroy donated his $4.2 million Masters winnings to Mencap have been firmly denied by the charity. Mencap clarified that, while McIlroy previously donated £500,000 for a children's center in Belfast, no new donation of his Masters prize money has been made. McIlroy was congratulated for his historic win at Augusta, where he became only the sixth golfer to achieve a career Grand Slam by winning all four major championships. Similar false reports of donations appeared after his Players' Championship win and were also refuted. The charity continues to recognize McIlroy's longstanding generosity and the impact of his past support. Mencap reiterated its gratitude for his ongoing commitment to helping people with learning disabilities.
