Rory McIlroy is heading to Brazil early next month but it has nothing to do with whether or not he will represent Britain or Ireland in the 2016 Olympic Games.

It will be McIlroy’s first ever visit to Brazil and he’s accompanying girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki who is playing in an exhibition match against Maria Sharapova on December 7th in Sao Paulo.

However McIlroy will be travelling with the Danish tennis ace via Colorado where Wozniacki is also playing in an exhibition match.
