'I said YES!!!': Golf star Rory McIlroy and girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki announce New Year engagement
Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki are engaged to be married after the golfer proposed to the tennis ace in Sydney.
Wozniacki is preparing to compete in the APIA International in the harbour city, where they spent New Year's Eve and took in the renowned fireworks.
The Danish former world No 1 confirmed the news on her Twitter account.
'Happy new year everyone! Rory and I started 2014 with a bang! ...I said YES!!!!' she posted.
The news will surprise sports fans after witnessing the pair's on-again/off-again relationship play out in public.
Sources close to the pair claimed the Irish golfer broke it off with the Danish tennis pro in April - days after she posted a mean picture of Twitter showing him asleep and open-mouthed with his glasses on.
Friends at the time said there was no way back and Wozniacki, 23, was described as being 'absolutely devastated.'
But Wozniacki was among the gallery watching McIlroy at the Dubai World Championships in November. It was the first time the Danish tennis star had been seen at a golf event since she donned a caddies’ overalls for the par three tournament at the Masters back in April.
Earlier this year, McIlroy was warned by Britain's greatest-ever golfer Nick Faldo to 'concentrate on golf' after a dramatic slump in form.
Last December, the pair were forced to deny rumours they were engaged after Wozniacki was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her wedding ring finger.
Speculation first began when the tennis star was seen flashing the diamond and sapphire jewel as she arrived at Brisbane International Airport.
However, it's also tradition for Danish women to wear their engagement and wedding rings on the right hands.
