Robert Lynn "Spike" McRoy, Jr. (born May 20, 1968) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

McRoy was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. He attended the University of Alabama graduating with a bachelor's degree in corporate finance in 1991. He turned pro and joined the PGA Tour later that same year.

McRoy has split his playing time between the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour relatively equally throughout his career, and has just over a half-dozen top-10 finishes in each venue. He was the top money winner on the Nationwide Tour in 2000 with $300,638 in earnings, and victories at the BUY.COM Dakota Dunes Open and the BUY.COM Tour Championship. In 2002, he captured his first win in a PGA Tour event at the B.C. Open. His best finish in a major championship was a T-40 at the 2004 U.S. Open.

He got his nickname Spike from his great uncle, a Ty Cobb fan, who sent McRoy a miniature Detroit Tigers uniform when he was born. Cobb was known for his aggressive base running – often "spiking" opposing infielders as he rounded the bases. McRoy is married with 3 children and lives in Huntsville.

  • 1990 Cajun Classic (as an amateur)
