McIlroy stays mum on Wozniacki split
Print Edition
Former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy was tight-lipped yesterday about reports he has split from long-time partner Caroline Wozniacki and said he was looking forward to getting back on the golf course.
McIlroy is the star attraction at the OneAsia Tour’s US$1 million Kolon Korea Open which begins tomorrow, the Northern Irishman’s first taste of competitive golf after a month-long break.
But speculation is swirling over his private life, with several media reports in Britain saying his high-profile relationship with the Danish tennis star Wozniacki is over.
“My private life is private, I’d like to keep it that way,” the 24-year-old said at a press conference at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, just outside Seoul.
McIlroy will travel on from South Korea next week to play the big-money BMW Masters and HSBC Champions tournaments in Shanghai with a lucrative exhibition match against Tiger Woods, at Mission Hills in Hainan, China, squeezed in between.
He sits in 60th in the European Tour standings and cannot afford to drop even one place lower if he is to qualify for the season-ending Dubai World Tour Championship, where he is defending champion.
“I’ve had four weeks off and it’s nice to get back into some tournament play,” said the double major winner.
