The Story

  • Fast Facts: Let's meet Alexandra Browne, a.k.a Rickie Fowler's girlfriend.
    As the daughter of Olin Browne, a 3 time tour champion, Alexandra grew up around the sport. It should come as no surprise that she would be attracted to the flashiest young golfer on the tour in Rickie (and without debate, the best dressed golfer on tour). What might come as a surprise is that Rickie Fowler is dating Alexandra Browne, at the guiding hand of her father, Olin who set them up. In an interview with Naples News, Olin said of his maybe one day son in law:
    “He is a nice kid, and he’s got a beautiful game. Obviously, he is one of the up and coming players out there on that tour. I think he is going to have a long and very successful career.”
    Amanda is a junior at Pepperdine University (and we checked, she does not play for their golf team).

Confirmation at Yale

The Story

  • Time Together: Rumors began in late July with some public flirting on Twitter, which made its way back to McIlroy's then thought to be girlfriend, Holly Sweeney.

    Rumors intensified after McIlroy showed up at the 2011 Western & Southern Open, which Wozniacki happened to be playing in. SBNation pressed for details to be stonewalled with non-denial denials.
    SBNation: Caroline, you had a guest arrive at the tournament yesterday, a...friend of yours, Rory McIlroy. Can you talk about your relationship with him, and having him come here, and being two top athletes together, and so on?
    Caroline Wozniacki: It's great. He's such a nice guy. You know, I was happy that he could come here. Unfortunately, he hit a tree root his third hole of last week. But, uh, you know...yeah...as he said in his interview, he heard that Cincinnati is such a nice place, so he wanted to come visit!
    SBNation: Were you able to do anything last night with Rory in Cincinnati, see anything?
    Caroline Wozniacki: Uh...Went for dinner? Yeah. Pretty much it, yeah. Nothing really yet. Maybe going one of the days to Kings Island would be fun?
    Fast forward a few more days, with rumors continuing to swirl. McIlroy again shows up at a tennis tournament, this time in New Haven, CT. Only difference this time, is McIlroy finally told reporters it was now safe to call Wozniacki his girlfriend. McIlroy and Wozniacki truly sealed their relationship in front of the Yale football team at an appearance Friday night. We're certainly impressed with McIlroy's candor with reporters, and the couples bravery to kiss in front of a crowd after keeping their relationship so closely guarded and hidden from public view for the last two months.
    Good luck, kids.

The Story

  • Time Together: After a breakup in 2008 from his previous girlfriend of more than 7 years, Australian golfer Adam Scott began dating Serbian tennis star Ana Ivanovic. The two lasted for almost two full years despite different touring schedules before calling it off during the 2010 season.
    Ana clearly took the breakup harder than Adam, attributing her drop out of the world's top 50 ranking and opening round loss at Wimbeldon 2010 to the split. Ana told the Sydney Sunday Telegraph that her slump was due to a midseason dumping, and stated, "I think it's better not to mix professional life and personal life, although that's hard. If you're happy in your private life, that will affect your tennis, and that will help you, actually."
  • Fun Facts: Let's give Adam Scott proper due here:
    His dating resume is impressive. While not Jeter, Sanchez, or Rodgers-esque it's certainly nothing to sniff at. Adam Scott has previously spent seven years with hottie Marie Kojzar before moving on to Ivanovic. He's also been linked to Kate Hudson and Maria Sharapova (before she went insane and got engaged to that dweeb Sasha Vujacic).
    Anyways, Adam Scott is one of the hottest names in golf right now, so it may be any time we see him linked to another smokeshow. Stay tuned...

Rory McIlroy's girlfriend Holly Sweeney

The Story

  • UPDATE: Based on her Twitter account (HFCSween) and various reporting by other media outlets, it seems safe to say that Rory McIlroy and Holly Sweeney are still dating. Also worthy of note is that she refers to him as "the curly one". She could call me whatever she wanted...
  • Time Together: Rory and Holly have dated for more than 5 years, beginning when Rory was 16. In January, 2011, McIlroy revealed that the two had decided to take a break, though shortly thereafter acknowledged they were still talking on a daily basis. Rory made it clear through the press that the two still loved one another and knew what they wanted in life.
    Fast forward to the 2011 Master's tournament. The self-publicized single McIlroy ran up a 4 stroke lead after 3 days. Headed into Sunday, Rory's management team secretly flew Holly into the Augusta area to have her waiting to celebrate with him after the 18th hole. However, after a disastrous 8 over par final round 80, McIlroy lost the green jacket to Charl Schwartzel. As Rory dejectedly walked off 18, he lit up when seeing Holly waiting off 18.
    No word on their relationship status as of today's US Open final round, and Rory's incredible wire to wire victory 8 stroke victory. We are watching the wire to see if Holly shows up in any celebratory photos.
