At the BMW Championship on Wednesday, the five-time major champion was asked how he spent his first PGA Tour paycheck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA watch,\u201d McIlroy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith diamonds around it,\u201d McIlroy added. \u201cIt was horrific. I can’t believe\u2014it was like the worst purchase ever. It was so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
What kind was it?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not the make and model that I’m sponsored by now,\u201d McIlroy said, \u201cso I\u2019m not going to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n
McIlroy, who has an endorsement deal with Omega watches, has collected $107 million in earnings on Tour.
