McIlroy fired his caddie of nine years JP in 2017.

Rory said at the time: “Sometimes to preserve a personal relationship you have to sacrifice a professional one.

“JP h as been a huge part of my life for the past decade, but I was getting very hard on him at times.

Fitzgerald, who was on the bag for all of McIlroy's Major wins, has not caddied for another player since.
