- McIlroy’s long-time caddie Harry Diamond has been cited in multiple outlets as earning substantial bonuses from McIlroy’s results in 2025, with reports estimating earnings around the low-to-mid seven-figure range for the year, driven by event winnings and percentage-based bonuses.

- Significant boosts are tied to major wins. For instance, after McIlroy’s victories and high finishes, Diamond’s share of winnings has been reported to push his annual total into the six-figure to seven-figure range, depending on the event and payout structure described by Golf Monthly and similar outlets.
