Rory calls off wedding!

[Papas1982]

At the end of the day who are we to criticise anything he does. For all we know he might have come home to find some bloke hanging out the back of her and decided to end it delicately for both their sakes. We will never know.
Good luck to the man. At least he didnt go sleeping aroud with waitresses

Nice subtle did their. First line it's his life who are we to criticise, then finish with a did at woods.

Either we judge sports stars on their sporting talent or we judge them all on the whole package.

Either way, one spent his time with plenty of waitresses and still had the talent to perform, one didn't

For me it's the way he's ended it and the reason he's given. “The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails". This guy has a PR Company looking after, well PR, and he comes out with a comment like that. Just reeks immaturity.

Sorry but how he ends his relationship has nothing to do with you or anyone and certainly doesn't deserve him being insulted.

He decided he wasn't ready for getting married and instead of carrying on ended it - that shows a lot more maturity.

What I'm getting at is he's a World golfing icon with a PR Team/Company around him, who has split with a childhood gf, got back together and announced his undying lover for and then splits 2 weeks later. Then he meets a tennis star where his relationship has been on/off, and then engaged and finally, but sadly ends. Now, bear in mind the guy has a PR Team around him, who I can only guess he's bypassed to come out with a statement that just reeks childish, small mindedness and lacked class. It's absolutely nobodies business why they split, that's between them, and to come out and say we split because he got cold feet over the invitations.

If that whole scenario doesn't appear to be immature then I'm a dutchman.

All he had to say was, we've decided to end our relationship due to personal differnances.

Hey Guus, if he has bypassed his PR department then hallelujah. How many bland boring dull inoffensive statements do you want from sports stars? Is it not a matter for celebration when one actually says what they think, rather than says what they are being told to say?

If only relationships between human beings were so easy and uncomplicated ?!

Sorry but he doesn't deserve the abuse being thrown at him

She wasn't the Georgie anyway. Looked a bit gormless to me.

Pastey curly haired bloke playing a dull old man game with $10's million in the bank should be aiming much higher.

Eh.......why........some total crap being spouted on here. I thought by calling it off goes some way to sorting himself out or maybe I got that wong. But hey..what the hell do we know. The guys not doing us any harm but some of you clearly want to manage him and have the answers.

you are right, loads of crap being spouted on here. why single out my message?! all I said is he needs to sort himself out, which he does. the last year or two he has struggled on and off the course, he needs to get his head straight and hopefully get his game back to where it was.

none of us have any idea whats going on in his life, there may be more to it. maybe the breakdown of his parents marriage over the last year or so has given him doubts, who knows. I, like many others here don't have the answers. I am a fan of Rorys, I haven't jumped on him, called him spoilt or an idiot etc, so im not sure why you are jumping on my comment, but anyway, be careful getting down off that high horse there champ.

Perhaps they came to loggerheads of who to invite and more importantly who not to invite.

Perhaps the next item in the wedding planners agenda was agreeing on the table layout.

I like his honesty, I agree I prefer that to the PR guff which would have appeared to show more class.

Goedermiddag and wilkommen to England.

Like I said, people are reading too much into the words he has used.

Am I the only one who doesn't really care?

Care enough to quote on this thread tho?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Perhaps the pre nuptial agreement was a stumbling block.

[Sleeping with waitresses.........not very nice to waitresses who may be posting]

Am I the only one who doesn't really care?

Nope.

No, defenitely not

Yep, you guys care so damn little that you just had to post on the thread detailing how damn little you care...

If he is not 100% about getting married then he has done the right thing. It takes bigger balls to pull out of it now rather than wait until after the wedding and then get a divorce 2 years down the line.

As per the Times of Inida today:

LONDON: Rory McIlroy on Wednesday announced he had broken off his engagement to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki only days after sending out the wedding invitations.

The 25-year-old Northern Irishman and two-time major champion said the issuing of the invitations had made him aware that he was not ready for marriage.

"There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people," he explained through a statement issued by his Dublin-based communications consultants.

"The problem is mine," McIlroy said. "The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails.

"I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had. I will not be saying anything more about our relationship in any setting."

The golden sporting couple announced their short-lived engagement on last New Year's Eve.

The former world number ones in their chosen sports posted pictures of themselves on Twitter with a diamond ring.

"Happy New Year everyone! I have a feeling it's going to be a great year!! My first victory of 2014 #shesaidyes!!" McIlroy wrote.

Wozniacki posted: "Happy New Year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! ... I said YES!!!!"

The engagement came after rumours of a split in 2013. McIlroy captured his first major title at the 2011 US Open and added another at the 2012 PGA Championship.

Wozniacki, 23, still seeks her first Grand Slam title, her deepest run in a major event being to the 2009 US Open final.

Debatable definitions of 'gracefully' and 'mature' - you know, having slammed the door on your way out and all that!

To be honest Mcilroy is a spoilt brat who struggles to be a man, he conducts himself wrongly and now he has devastated a young woman who is better off without him cos he would have to have consult his family with every issue to do with his marriage and her life would have been hell.The bloke couldnt play golf and handle marriage let alone kids without his parents there wiping his ****.Back in the day when Jack was married with 5 kids he would take them all with him on tour and he was still a champion, Mcilroy would have had everything taken care of nowdays but he still cant handle it, poor lamb....I hope he doesent make the cut at the PGA and drops outside the top 500 and leave elite pro golf to real people.
