Conor McGregor Spotlights 14-Year-Old Irish Golfer as the Next Golf Superstar

Jacksonville, FL –   Eilgin Michael, the 14-year-old Irish golf sensation recently signed by Conor McGregor’s management company, is making waves in the golf world — and he’s doing it with a little help from Power Tee®.

The young golfer, already recognized as a rising star, recently shared a video on social media showing a 301-yard drive achieved on a Power Tee auto-teeing system at Halpenny Golf Driving Range near Dublin. The video has generated excitement among golf fans and industry insiders alike, showcasing the combination of raw talent, disciplined practice, and innovative training technology.

“I have just signed the next golf superstar of the world,” Conor McGregor said on his Instagram account. “Ireland, introducing our future majors winner, Eilgin Michael. At only 14 years of age, he comfortably drives the ball over 300+ yards!”

McGregor is the world-famous Irish mixed martial artist and former UFC double champion.

“He trains relentlessly,” added McGregor. “Over 5 hours a day, he is a master of every club! Rain, wind, doesn’t matter — he is out there grinding and with his amazing parents right behind him all the way!”

Eilgin’s practice regimen includes the Power Tee system, which automatically tees up balls for golfers, allowing them to focus on their swing and hit more balls efficiently in each session. This technology is increasingly preferred by golfers of all ages and skill levels — from beginners learning fundamentals to elite players refining their game.

“Power Tee helps golfers get better, faster,” said Power Tee CEO and Founder Martin Wyeth. “Seeing a young talent like Eilgin Michael using it in his daily training reinforces how effective it can be in building consistency, distance, and confidence on every shot.”

Halpenny Golf Driving Range has become a hub for ambitious golfers in the Dublin area, offering access to advanced training tools such as Power Tee to support skill development for players at every level.

Eilgin Michael’s meteoric rise, combined with his commitment to practice and advanced technology, signals a new era for young golfers in Ireland and beyond. Fans can follow his journey on social media as he continues to break records and chase major championships.
