Rory Mcilroy and girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki's break up has made headlines since last week because of the pro golfer's badly timed public split that is apparently taking a toll on his gameplay. Amid all the controversial speculations on why they ended their near-to-tying-the-knot relationship, Mcilroy has recently put on his brave face and opened up, saying that he is just "not ready for marriage."
Rory Mcilroy and his girlfriend's break-up is a product of perturbing troubles and mishaps that took place while the two dating athletes were very much into each other. New York Post claims that for the most part, the confirmed split was due to the fact that Wozniacki was slowly hurting Mcilroy's golf game.
"Rory's game hasn't been as consistently good in the time he's been with Caroline," a source told the New York Post. "He was a young guy in love and was flying around the world to see her play in tournaments (she is a top-rated tennis star) or meet up with her. He was missing practice rounds. It was a distraction."
The insider then added that the legal battles Mcilroy has been facing for some time now have also contributed to that need of break up their romance. It can be noted that the pro golfer had split from his former management in a major dispute.
"He is one of the most talented golfers out there, but his game was erratic," the same source added, gushing that Rory Mcilroy's poise has been greatly affected by the turnout of events.
Following his break up with his girlfriend, Rory Mcilroy opened up to the press, admitting: "The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails." The 25-year-old golfer then said that the decision he made with his now ex-girlfriend was "mutual" and that "it was the best for both us."
Meanwhile, Mcilroy's girlfriend Wozniacki expressed her gratitude to her fans, who showed massive support to her despite the publicized break up. "It's a hard time for me right now. Thanks for all the sweet messages!" Wozniack tweeted Thursday night.
This is not the first time that Rory Mcilroy and girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki had a break up from their romantic relationship. A few months prior to their engagement, there were speculations and rumors claiming that Mcilroy and Wozniacki broke up, but after it was proven wrong, here is another splitzville controversy, and this time it's for real.
