Four-time major winner Rory Mcllroy has bought a $2 million penthouse apartment just 20 minutes from his Florida pad, according to Gossipextra.com.

The 10th floor condominium at Ocean's Edge on Singer Island is less than 10 miles from his Palm Beach home.

According to the report, the world No 1 has spent $13.75 million on Palm Beach area properties in less than two years.

In 2012, he bought a $9.25 million waterfront mansion in the Old Gate neighbourhood of Palm Beach Gardens, as well as the vacant property next door, for $2.25 million. The latest sale was completed in June, the report says.
