Rory McIlroy is getting the royal treatment at Wimbledon while dressed to impress, outfitted in his Masters green jacket to match the pristine grass courts in London.
Undoubtedly for McIlroy, there’s no better place to show off evidence of his second-straight Masters win than the most prestige tennis tournament in the world at center court. McIlroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, attended Wimbledon on Wednesday and sat front and center in the invitation-only coveted seats to take in McIlroy’s second-favorite sport. The couple posed for the crowd and even exchanged a few smooches, as they soaked up the special day.

Other members of the European Ryder Cup team joined McIlroy in the Royal Box, including teammates Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, Edoardo Molinari and Francesco Molinari, as well as team captain Luke Donald and vice captain Thomas Bjorn.
