"And to my daughter Poppy I want to say, Never give up on your dreams. Keep coming back, keep working hard and I love you.

"It's an honour of a lifetime. This is a dream come true. I can't wait to be here next year and hopefully putting the green jacket back on myself."

McIlroy also fought back tears as he was asked about the sacrifices his parents Gerry and Rosie made during the early part of his career.

He said: "I want to say hello to my mum and dad, they’re back in Northern Ireland and I can’t wait to celebrate this next week with them."
