Rory McIlroy sets up a foundation called 'The 6 Bags Project' to help raise awareness for children's charities across the globe.

World number one golfer Rory McIlroy has created a foundation called 'The 6 Bags Project' to lend support and awareness to children's charities from around the world.

The Northern Irishman is planning to display the name and logo of a charity on his golf bag for each of the first six tournaments that he plays in until May.

"When I was younger, my parents sacrificed everything to allow me to play the game I love," the Daily Mail quotes McIlroy as saying.

Each bag will be auctioned and the first charity to benefit from McIlroy's foundation will be the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children.
