#shesaidyes: Rory McIlroy announces engagement via Twitter
With a photo montage of himself and his fiance, the Sydney Harbor, and a sizable engagement ring, Rory McIlory announced his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki just after midnight, Australian Eastern Time.
The Ulsterman’s announcement came in true 21st century fashion.
Via @McIlroyRory’s Twitter:
And the bride-to-be’s (she included the same photo):
Both former world No. 1s in their respective sports, the sports power couple have dated since summer of 2011. Often the pair was the focus of tabloid speculation that their relationship was on the rocks, a claim they vehemently denied.
Now, it looks like the only rocks anywhere near Wozilroy are those on Wozniacki’s ring finger.
With the start of 2014 and the engagement, McIlroy puts behind him a 2013 golf season that tested his mettle on and off the golf course. After a triumphant 2012 campaign that ended with a spell of fantastic play, including a statement major victory at the PGA Championship, Rory struggled with increased pressure and scrutiny brought on by an ascent to No. 1 in the world and a new equipment mega-deal with Nike.
Things came to a head when the golfer infamously walked off the course at the Honda Classic in March.
However, he found a measure of consistency late in the season, most recently finishing tied for sixth at the WGC-HSBC Champions and winning the Australian Open. Things seem to be falling into place off the course as well.
It will be exciting to see what 2014 brings for the heir apparent to Tiger Woods.

Problem with Woziroy is that she is a spoiled princes with wealthy/rich background and Rory has working class roots. His parents worked theirs arses out to support his talent. He would be better chasing Majors than streets of Monte Carlo or ski slopes with his sweety. Rory, let her plan the wedding and nesting and you focus on playing some proper golf again like you did back in 2012.

Looks like a great “match.” Congrats to Rory.
He now has what the current no. 1 doesn’t have, a settled life
and spousal support.

I don’t get this…isn’t Tiger settled in with Lindsey at this point? It amazes me the people that have to take a shot at Tiger on every single story. Stop obsessing already.
(I’m not a fan of the striped one, I just don’t get why people have such anger towards him that they need to create parallels where none exist)

Wasn’t his Australian Open victory against Adam Scott more recent than the HSBC?
Anyway, congrats Rory and I sense a big year on the course in 2014!

Glad he took Gary Player’s advice (eyes rolling). Congrats to Rory and Caroline. At the end of the day its about family and loved ones, not how well you play on a golf course.
