Rory McIlroy denies Caroline Wozniacki engagement rumours

Press in Australia first reported the Holywood golfer may have proposed over Christmas.

DEEP BREATH, LADIES… Rory McIlroy says he and girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki are not engaged.

The Danish tennis star sparked rumours of a Christmastime proposal when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand in Australia today.

Wozniacki is Down Under ahead of the Brisbane International, after the pair spent the festive period together.

McIlroy has this evening moved to quash the talk of wedding bells however.

“On behalf of Rory McIlroy I would like to confirm that he has NOT become engaged to Caroline Wozniacki as was originally reported in Australian press,” a short statement reads. “Rory is in Australia to support Caroline before he heads in January to Abu Dhabi.”

    But what hand was the ring on? Although we wear wedding and engagement rings on our left hands, women in many European countries wear them on their right hand, so it’s easy for a newspaper to get the wrong idea.

    the rings (which looked like an engagement and a wedding ring) were on her left hand. I’d say that she’s from a country where the wedding finger is on the right hand because its a blatant lie otherwise…. although she was wearing it jogging which was weird considering they look heavy and very expensive……. whatever the story is, good luck to them!

    You are spot on. She is polish by origin (both patents) and brought up in Denmark. Not 100% sure about Denmark, but in Poland engagement and wedding ring is definitely put on right hand. Germany too. So I suppose Denmark would be same :)

    He’s Irish so to expect him to be attractive would be rediculous. we are not known for our good looks – red hair and freckles. Ask any Irish woman which nation produces the best looking men and the Irish are way down the list, the same for the men – they think south American, Asian or Mediterranean woman are good looking not the Irish. Thank god for that as we Make up for it in other ways.
