A controversy has erupted on Twitter over Rory McIlroy’s missing golf clubs.

Twitter users have used the social networking site to single out United Airlines claiming ‘preferential treatment’ after McIlroy’s clubs went missing from North Carolina via Newak, New Jersey and then onto Dublin.

McIlroy used Twitter to question the airline about the whereabouts of his clubs he needs to compete in this week’s Irish Open at Fota Island.

 ·  Hey landed in Dublin yesterday morning from Newark and still no golf clubs… Sort of need them this week… Can someone help!?

Two hours later United Airlines reached out to McIlroy on Twitter saying:

Less than 30 minutes later he was again contacted by United Airlines advising his clubs will be delivered to the Fota Island Resort in Cork, Ireland on Wednesday, just in time for the tournament.

   @McIlroyRory We have good news. Your clubs will be in tomorrow and we’ll deliver them to the tournament for you. ^JH

 
The messages on Twitter between McIlroy and United Airlines also prompted suggestions of preferential treatment and not to expect the same service if United Airlines should inevitably lose other customer golf clubs in the future.

Here is a couple of irate Twitters:-

Hope you do this for everyone…
