Despite being a household name for millions of movie fans around the world, it seems golfer Rory McIlroy may not recognize actor Tom Holland. The two met on the driving range ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at England's Wentworth Club.
In a video posted to the DP World Tour X account, Holland, known for his role as 'Spider-Man', approached McIlroy to introduce himself. However, McIlroy's response was a simple, 'Hello Tom, how you doing? with no acknowledgment of Holland's acting career, leading fans to speculate that he didn't recognize the Hollywood star.
One fan humorously commented, "Rory completely in the zone not realizing that's Spiderman." Despite McIlroy's apparent obliviousness, others recognised Holland, who was seen signing autographs for young fans.

Meanwhile, McIlroy shared a nice moment with tennis legend Andy Murray as the two briefly discussed the golfer's difficult year off the course.
The two met up as Murray was hitting a few balls on the course, not long after the tennis legend retired from the game, when they shared a nice embrace.
Footage showed McIlroy embrace Murray who admitted that he had been playing quite a lot of golf since he retired, before the conversation took a more serious turn.
As the two made eye contact with each other, Murray said to McIlroy: "Great job this year, man. It's been tough, but you've done super well."
