Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy won on the same day
Just two months ago, Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki sent out invitations to their wedding, which was scheduled to take place in November. McIlroy got cold feet after the invitations went out, and shockingly broke off the engagement during a three-minute phone call days later. The couple had been together since 2011, and Wozniacki, who called the break-up a “shock,” went on to lose in the first round of the French Open.
Both McIlroy and Wozniacki are starting to move on — professionally, at least. A number of golf analysts, including NBC’s Johnny Miller, argued publicly that McIlroy’s relationship was keeping him from achieving greatness on the course. Wozniacki, meanwhile, slid from No. 1 before the couple started dating to outside the top-10. She hasn’t made a single Grand Slam final since the 2009 U.S. Open, and had not won a WTA event since October of 2013.
The split might have been the best thing for both of them. On Sunday, both McIlroy and Wozniacki raised trophies. McIlroy held off Sergio Garcia at Royal Liverpool to win his third career major (and earn his dad a huge payday).
In Istanbul, Wozniacki breezed past Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-1 to win her first tournament of the year. Wozniacki, now ranked 15th, extended her streak of winning at least one WTA title every year since 2008.
