After splitting from his long-term girlfriend the new lady in Rory McIlroy's life is tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, according to reports.
The world's No1 seed in women’s tennis met the US Open champion at a boxing match earlier this month. Caroline and Rory were seated together to watch David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko in Germany on July 2.
The following day, Wozniacki wrote on her Twitter account: "Fantastic fight! Also met Rory McIlory, who was sitting just behind me:) Really down to earth great guy:)"
McIlroy has previously admitted that he made a mistake when he broke off his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Holly Sweeney at the start of the season to concentrate on his golf.
She was pictured at his side during homecoming celebrations following his triumphant win at the US Open this summer and has been the subject of much media coverage since his astonishing victory.
However, speculation about Rory's relationship with Wozniacki has been rife since the pair were spotted having an intimate dinner together at a London restaurant earlier this month.
Tongues were also set wagging by their followers on their mutual Twitter sites with a flirty exchange of tweets, including a cheeky birthday greeting McIlroy sent the tennis player on her 21st birthday last Monday, in which he tweeted: "You're getting old."
She replied: "At least now you will be able to buy me a drink in the US" and "Not only in Hamburg", a few hours later.
