McIlroy, Wozniacki engaged
Rory McIlroy is claiming his first win of the new year — his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
One of the top power couples in sports announced their engagement Tuesday night on Twitter, which was Wednesday morning in Australia. A spokesman for McIlroy confirmed he popped the question in Sydney, where Wozniacki is starting to prepare for the Australian Open in Melbourne.
“Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year!! My first victory of 2014,” McIlroy tweeted. He added a hash tag, “She said yes!!” Wozniacki sent out a similar tweet a few minutes earlier that said, “Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! ... I said YES!!!!”
They included a collage of three photos — her engagement ring, a photo of them together and fireworks over the Sydney Harbour.
That should put to rest two reports out of Ireland at different times this year that they were splitting up.
