Rory McIlroy’s ‘Medinah Police Car’ – On eBay With Highest Bid $3,050.

Those wanting the unmarked police car that got Rory McIlroy to the Ryder Cup in time just have four days left to purchase the vehicle.

McIlroy had to be rushed in the vehicle from his Chicago hotel and only just managed to get to Medinah minutes before facing Keegan Bradley and revealing he did not realise he was in America’s Central Time Zone.

Luckily for McIlroy and his European teammates who made a record-tying comeback that afternoon, a police escort got McIlroy to the course just in time.

The current EBay bid is $3,050.

Here is the EBay description of the Lombard Crown Vic Police Car that got McIlroy to Medinah.

You are bidding on the unmarked Village of Lombard police car that was used to rush pro golfer Rory McIlroy to the Ryder Cup.

Rory was staying at the Westin hotel in Lombard, IL and had thought his tee off time was an hour later than it actually was on the final day of the Ryder Cup being held at Medinah Country Club.

Lombard’s Deputy Police Chief Pat Rollins used this car to rush McIlroy to the tournament with only minutes to spare. The Europeans went on to win the tournament largely due to McIlroy’s play.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of sports history not to mention a darn fine automobile. Vehicle is in good running condition with only 88,900 miles on it!

The eBay listing includes a link to the video footage of McIlroy arriving to the course in the car, as well as a link to the Daily Herald story about the incident and the EBay listing .

However bidding closes on 8th April.
