Rory McIlroy is on top of the world at the moment, fresh off of winning the Tour Championship at East Lake, to be crowned the 2019 FedEx Cup champion, raking in $15m in prize money.

It is the second time that McIlroy has won the FedEx Cup, the first dating back to 2016, but McIlroy is now the first player to win the FedEx Cup under its new format.

It's been a phenomenal year for the Northern Irishman. McIlroy has played in 19 events this season on the PGA Tour, finishing inside the top 10 in 14 of them.

He had the lowest scoring average on Tour and was No.1 for strokes gained in total. McIlroy won the Players Championship, the Canadian Open, the Tour Championship and therefore the FedEx Cup, winning $24,300,000 in on-course earnings, the highest earnings made in a single season in history.

McIlroy's huge win at East Lake hasn't stopped him heading straight over to Switzerland for the Omega European Masters on the European Tour, where Matthew Fitzpatrick will look to defend his title.

Like most Tour events, before the tournament begins there is a Pro-Am, where many celebrities are invited to play the course with some of golf's biggest stars.

Justin Timberlake is a huge golf fan and he's a very decent player as well. The global star is set to play in the Pro-Am at the Omega European Masters, but before teeing off he was filmed receiving a few tips about how to get out of bunkers and who better to teach him than McIlroy.
