Rory McIlroy will hit stage with One Direction

With the deal in place, expect to see Rory McIlroy on stage with One Direction.

In a Golf Channel interview, One Direction member Niall Horan said McIlroy will come on stage and sing with the group when it plays in Foxborough, Mass., on Sept. 12.

Horan said he caddied for McIlroy in Wednesday’s Par-3 Contest in exchange for McIlroy’s onstage appearance.

“If I went on the bag with him, he would come on stage and sing with us,” Horan said. “He is playing in the Deutsche Bank in Boston at the end of the summer, and we are playing in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough the same week.”

Horan, who took a swing at No. 9 but found water during the Par-3 Contest, said McIlroy will be allowed to pick the song he sings.

Has Horan heard McIlroy sing before?

“No, but apparently he’s terrible,” Horan said.
