It’s come to notice Rory McIlroy is a traditionalist at heart and first approaching Caroline Wozniacki’s parents if he could marry their daughter – Caroline.
McIlroy chose Sydney Harbour and the New Year’s Eve spectacular fireworks to pop
the question to his tennis ace girlfriend.
But before he did he afforded the courtesy to her parents.
“My parents knew as he had asked my parents for permission, like traditional, which was great,” said Wozniacki from Sydney where she is competing APIA Sydney International.
“I was very happy. They were very happy for me, and his parents as well and everyone around us.”
Also of note in that Forbes piece is that McIlroy is also on the list — two of Forbes’ top 30 people in sports under 30 will soon be one big, strong married couple.
