Conor McGregor unveils teenage golf sensation
In a post shared on Instagram, Conor McGregor confirmed the signing of Irish prospect Eilgin Michael to McGregor Sports and Entertainment.
“I have just signed the next golf superstar of the world! Ireland, introducing our future majors winner, Eilgin Michael. At only 14 years of age, he comfortably drives the ball over 300+ yards!
“He trains relentlessly! Over 5 hours a day, he is a master of every club! Rain, wind, doesn’t matter he is out there grinding and with his amazing parents right behind him all the way!” McGregor wrote.
McGregor’s endorsement was emphatic. Driving distances beyond 300 yards at 14 immediately set Michael apart physically, while the emphasis on discipline highlighted long-term potential.
The announcement reflects McGregor’s expanding ambitions beyond combat sports. Through his management venture, he has increasingly positioned himself as a backer of emerging Irish talent.
