The FedEx St. Jude Championship is the strongest public explanation for a McIlroy-linked Gulfstream’s week in Memphis. N1989R arrived Aug. 10, three days before play began at TPC Southwind, and left for Palm Beach on the final day.

The PGA TOUR listed Rory McIlroy in the field and recorded a 66th-place finish after four rounds. Airframe history and Florida corporate records connect the aircraft to Valhalla14 LLC and Rory McIlroy Enterprises, while the FAA lists TVPX as owner trustee.

That chain supports event context for the aircraft, not a passenger claim; no source says McIlroy was aboard either movement.
