Rory McIlroy was twice a winner in Kentucky in 2014.
First, it was capturing his fourth major and second PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in August. Then, in December, McIlroy delivered a wonderful surprise to help an area charity.
WHAS-TV, the ABC affiliate in Louisville, received a package from McIlroy last month but had no idea why. Inside, they found a number of signed items, including a PGA Championship flag, hat and other memorabilia. After a little internal investigating, the station learned an editor, Joe Federle, had been in contact with McIlroy through his representation at Rory McIlroy Inc. about getting some items signed for an auction to benefit the station's Crusade for Children charity. Crusade for Children provides 100 percent of funds raised to help special needs children in Indiana and Kentucky.
