Rory McElroy, does he not seem like an absolute arsehole and all the money in the world wouldn't make him a catch

He told his wife he wanted a divorce, all public and out in the open, now ..................he's changed his mind. Or am I being unfair.

He probably discovered how much the divorce was going to cost 😳

FatAndFiftySomething · 13/06/2024 21:25

Apparently someone told him how much money he’d lose in a divorce so he ‘changed his mind’.

FatAndFiftySomething · 13/06/2024 21:25

Ha snap!

Agree. And I imagine Caroline Wozniacki thanks her lucky stars that she didn't marry him.

It does all seem so strange.

He was such a complete arsehole to her, she was well rid

I agree OP, he's awful

I like Rory McIlroy. I would need some evidence to change my view.

BIWI · 13/06/2024 21:31

McIlroy. Spell it properly before you slag him off.

LadyMuckRake · 13/06/2024 21:31

Yes Caroline must be looking at this and thinking that'd have been my life. If she didn't 'please' him sufficiently divorce papers would be served - then UNserved Confused

Isn’t she the one who took a photo of him sleeping and put it on Twitter or something? That was terrible, really awful.

Nope, big fan here given how he handled the LIV drama compared with some of his peers (looking at you Jon Rahm).

What’s that? I don’t follow golf at all normally.

FatAndFiftySomething · 13/06/2024 21:38

Oh got it.

LadyMuckRake · 13/06/2024 21:39

ok, i'll have to google the LIV drama. I'm interested that a few people are defending him.

Give the Netflix golf doc a watch. Even for non-fans of the game it’s worth a look.

Mintearo7 · 13/06/2024 21:47

I think this story had just got lots of attention due up his past with Caroline, when he called off the wedding after sending invites. Plus the whole Tiger Woods divorce drama. The media know people love it.

Iloveshoes123 · 13/06/2024 21:47

I really don't like him after what he did to Caroline Wozniaki, the latest doesn't surprise me!

Popfan · 13/06/2024 22:38

Rory is great, always very truthful in interviews and wears his emotions on his sleeve. Who knows what goes on in someone's marriage?

Luddite26 · 14/06/2024 10:36

That's that then.

Funny how you know enough about his marriage to do a bit of muck raking but nothing about his stance over the LIV.
I mean, if it's all about money he could have made enough there to pay off any wives but he chose to put principle before money.

Ugov · 14/06/2024 12:07

Surely this does happen, people decide to split then reconcile? We have no idea what the original reasons were or what's brought about the change.

It must be awful to go through that in the public eye, but if he hadn't put the original announcement out, there would have been speculation anyway.

Meh, admittedly I'm not a big golf fan so I'm not totally up to speed but he seemed pretty quick to scale back the criticism of LIV when they announced the merger with PGA. Isn't he actively involved in those talks and has come out and said he shouldn't have criticised the LIV so much or something to that effect? Now if he had resigned from PGA in protest I would wholeheartedly agree with you that he puts principle before money.
