OâGrady Launches Bold Attempt To Bring McIlroy Back To European Tour
Having already offered Rory McIlroy a mountain of cash, a blue European Tour hoodie and his own X-box game, Tour chief George OâGrady has dangled one more carrot in front of the World number one; his pride and joy, his cereal bowl.
âIâm offering Rory my cereal bowl,â OâGrady told reporters today adding, âItâs by Clarice Cliff and I know itâs very valuable because someone on Antiques Roadshow had one worth £5,000 and that one had a hairline crack. My oneâs pristine, I keep it in a velvet case and dry it with a piece of kitchen roll to stop bacteria from the dirty tea towel getting on there.â
The bowl dates back to the 1920âs when the young OâGrady in short pants was presented with it by his father after shooting some Tigers and an intruder on their estate in India. âDad promised he would get me my own bowl when I killed Tony The Tiger and Tony The Trespasser,â OâGrady recalled. âI was so happy listening to the Snap Crackle and Pop of the slaves being whipped as I ate my cereal from my new bowl.â
A statement is expected later from McIlroyâs management company on whether or not he will accept the offer.
