Sample tweet: "A lot of abuse from @WestwoodLee about my top! Unjustified! He's dressed like a farmer at a beach party"

Rory McIlroy, the 21-year-old golf sensation from Northern Ireland, doesn't hold back on Twitter. He holds frequent Q&As with fans, which have taught us that he first picked up a golf club at 18 months and that if he could dance like anyone, it would be Justin Timberlake. And like any good millionaire who just reached legal drinking age, he doesn't mind a party. "5 jägerbombs before midnight!!! #goingtobealongnight," he tweeted. He followed with, "Up to 10 now!!" The next day, he wrote, "Jägerbombs 1 Rory 0."
