Rory McIlroy says girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki had a big hand behind his success
Rory McIlroy was all praise for his girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki, and said that she is his inspiration.
Caroline Wozniacki, the Danish tennis player is currently placed at the 10th
position in the Women’s Tennis Professional rankings.
“She’s definitely been a great influence on me. I’ve always felt like I’ve been dedicated to the game and I’ve practiced hard and I’ve worked at it. But I guess over the past 18 months, especially after winning the US Open, I sort of felt like I went to
the next stage of my career”.
The 23-year-old, who is the current world’s number one golfer, has won four titles on the Professional Golf Association Tour, which includes the United States PGA Championship.
He said that since the Danish star came in his life, there have been no changes in his personality off the fairways, but added that as a golfer he has become more professional.
While giving a statement, the Northern Irish golfer said that by keeping a serious outlook towards the sport has rewarded him in the form of remarkable results.
McIlroy was also nominated for the BBC Player of the Year award, but could not participate in the event as he was vacationing in the United States with his girlfriend.
Tour players voted for McIlroy as the player of the year, and he became the second youngest professional golfer after Tiger Woods to have won the award. This made him the third European golfer to win the honour in the last five years.
McIlroy said, “It’s an honour. It’s always nice to get recognition from your peers, the guys that you’re trying to beat week in, week out, it’s just a great way to end what has been a great year, and my best season so far”.
McIlroy has achieved more in this season than most golfers earn in their entire careers, needless to add that he has definitely improved during the past season. He credited his accomplishments to Wozniacki.
Wozniacki used to be one the top ranked tennis players in the world but due to some unseen turn of events she found herself down the ranking list.
