Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki Are Too Cute
There’s no doubt about the fact that Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki are the perhaps the biggest power couple in golf since Tiger Woods and any number of bachelorettes.
McIlroy’s love life has been scrutinized very publicly since his US Open win and subsequent split from longtime girlfriend Holly Sweeney.
But just like McIlroy bounced back strong after the disappointment at Augusta, he similarly got back on the proverbial horse in the dating game as well, linking up with the world’s No. 1 tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki.
McIlroy and Caro seem smitten with one another if their public Twitter flirting is any indication.
On Tuesday, McIlroy took their relationship to the next level in the form of an odd gift: a custom Vokey 60° wedge with the name “WozzIlroy.”
Not really sure what Rory was thinking with this whole thing? Is this his attempt at a “Brangelina” nickname? If it is, isn’t that against the rules?
I was under the impression that couple nicknames are kind of like street ball nicknames. Hot Sauce doesn’t call himself Hot Sauce. The Professor and Escalade and Skip to my Lou don’t christen themselves with those nicknames.
They are earned or at least given to them by someone else.
Wozniacki tweeted the picture of the Vokey wedge with the dubious nickname and McIlroy wanted to know where his present was. It really was an adorable back and forth, full of spelling corrections, emoticons and blonde jokes. Apparently, Caro is sending Wee Mac some tennis racquets for his trouble.
There’s not much else to say about this except for it would appear that McIlroy has already exhausted one of his options for Christmas. A personalized wedge made by the premier wedge maker in the world would seem to be a decent gift idea for the No. 1 tennis player in the world, assuming it’s something she cannot readily get.
I guess he’ll have to do something else for her present. Maybe a return trip to Cincinnati with Wozniacki could be in order?
I hear the Queen City is beautiful around the Holidays.
