#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.
A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.
Let’s get to the gifts.
Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo
We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.
STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover
If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.
Why Golf: Putting Thing
When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.
OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes
Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
Therabody Theragun Relief
A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.
World Cup golf apparel
Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.
FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes
Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.
Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker
Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.
Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls
The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!

With the PGA Tour across the border in Canada this week, GolfWRX Tour Photographer Greg Moore stayed stateside and headed to the OccuNet Classic presented by Amarillo National Bank in Amarillo, Texas.
It’s always interesting to see what the guys are playing on the KFT, and this week certainly hasn’t disappointed so far, with some incredible wedge stamping on display.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

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.
