US Open golf champion Rory McIlroy and tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki are now dating.

Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki Met at a Boxing Match in Germany

The two met in Hamburg, Germany on July 2 at the David Haye-Wladimir Klitschko World Heavyweight boxing match. McIlroy was sitting right behind Wozniacki at the bout, and the two started chatting and struck a friendship.


Rory Split Up with Longtime Girlfriend Holly Sweeney

Rory was dating Holly Sweeney, but they split up before the Open Championship. Holly and Rory were childhood sweethearts. When Rory blew a huge lead on the last day of The Masters in April, Holly was there to comfort him. The two have since parted ways.


Rory Attended Wimbledon, but Did Not Meet Caroline

After his huge win at the US Open in June, Rory started attending tennis matches at Wimbledon. That was probably when he first became attracted to Caroline, but they never met at Wimbeldon.

Wozniacki was the number one ranked tennis player earlier this year, but she has yet to win a Grand Slam tournament. She is from Denmark, though her parents are from Poland, and both are athletes.


Caroline Wozniacki's Parents are both Athletes from Poland

Caroline's mother played on the Polish national volleyball team, while her father was a professional soccer player. The couple emigrated to Denmark so Caroline's father could play soccer there professionally.

After winning the US Open in grand style by setting the record for lowest score ever in a US Open, Rory McIlroy is being called the next Tiger Woods. If he has not already, one can imagine that Rory will soon become the highest earning golfer in the world, including endorsements.


Are Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki a dream match?

Both Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy are on top of their games in their respective sports. Caroline was the number one ranked female tennis player in the world. Rory is arguably the top golfer in the world today. So is this a match made in heaven?

The two will likely be among the highest paid professional athletes in the world in 2011. From that standpoint, they probably understand what it is to be superstars better than almost anybody else in the sports world.

Will Rory and Caroline end up walking down the aisle together one day? One can imagine just how big a wedding that would be for the media.

Would their children play golf or tennis? Probably both.
