Rounded openings joined to a long descending finish
Two broad rounded openings give the autograph its main upper shapes. A low band of connected strokes runs between them, with a second oval returning beneath the first. At the right, the final stroke drops into a long rounded loop before turning back upward. Trace the upper openings and lower returns separately: their repeated curves are clearer than individual letter divisions, and the descending ending adds much of the sample's total height.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening stays near the height of the body letters. The opening-to-body ratio is 1.18×, while the whole image is 1.52 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 5 enclosed loops and 1 main ink group. The letterforms carry the main horizontal movement; there is no long lower underline detected beneath their band.
Rory McIlroy’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates rounded forms with a more flowing public presentation. The extended lower return adds the decoration traditionally linked with expressiveness. The repeated loops carry this reading across the autograph instead of concentrating it only in the opening capital.
