Rory McIlroy admitted he let Woods get the better of him in their recent ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ that’s now gone viral on social media sites.

McIlroy and Woods undertook the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ to raise awareness for ALS – (amyotrophic lateral sclerosisa).

And despite his best plans in over-filling his own bucket compared to that of Woods, it was McIlroy who came off the worst in being soaked to the skin.

“I actually put more water and ice in my bucket to tip over Tiger than he did with me but then I ended up getting soaked through,” McIlroy said smiling while competing in today’s Barclays Championship Pro-Am.

“However I didn’t mind as it was all for ALS  which is a great cause.”

McIlroy will begin his quest for a fourth straight tournament title at 8.26am local time Wednesday.

Tiger Woods gives Rory McIlroy an absolute soaking in their ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’.
