Picture Fran Caffrey/www.golffile.ie.When we tweeted that Time Magazine had included Rory McIlroy in its list of “the top 140 Twitter feeds that are shaping the conversation” he noticed straight away and retweeted: “I like this!”

Rory McIlroy has answered dozens of questions from his Twitter followers.

The answers were highly revealing. Not only did we learn that he will play twice in Florida next season, at the Honda Classic and Doral, we also discovered that he thinks Rickie Fowler should win the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year award. Other topics covered include hair, farting, George Best, chat up lines, Harry Potter and the next British player to win a major - himself.
