McIlroy, 36, has now whisked himself away to the south of France from some R&R.
The golfer was spotted by some fans partying in a beach club to loud music.
The fans were keen to know why he was not wearing his green blazer that he earned for winning the Masters in April.
They typed out a message on their phone reading "Where's the Green Jacket?".
They also tried shouting the question to McIlroy, but could not be heard over the loud music.
McIlroy eventually spotted the fans and bounced his way over to them, clutching a wine glass.
He answered their question brilliantly as he joked: "It's on the yacht."
The group of them burst out laughing as they enjoyed the vibes of the party.
McIlroy appeared very relaxed with his friends as he wore a jacketless outfit of a black shirt and swim trunks paired with a backwards cap.
The moment has gone viral on social media with plenty of fans enjoying the golfer's humour.
