His off-course comments have been getting him into a bit of trouble recently but “citizen of the world” Rory McIlroy has won us over with his super sweet statements about world No.1 tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
Ulsterman Rory has been linked to the Danish beauty since July 2011 and says “I’ll travel wherever in the world she is, just to see her.”
The golfing phenomenon who is on the cusp of signing one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in history with Nike also reveals that although he is focused on his work schedule, his time off between tournaments has become increasingly precious to him.
Speaking to the Sunday Independent Rory reveals “Then there’s my time away with Caroline. That’s my time off. My time away. And I need that. Of course, she’s famous in her own right, which can create its own situations, but I wouldn’t call them problems. If I have time, I’ll travel wherever in the world she is, just to see her. That’s what I want to do. That’s what makes me happy.”
The look of love – Caroline visits Rory during one of his tournaments
The 23-year-old also reveals that his relationship with Caroline has shifted his priorities and golf isn’t his number one love anymore. “Obviously it’s very satisfying to win the Majors and important tournaments, but deep down, what makes me really happy is my life outside of golf and how that is at the moment. And that, in itself, enables me to play great golf because everything else is sort of in balance.”
All together now… AWWWWWW!
