Caroline Wozniacki can sure whack a golf ball (VIDEO)

Caroline Wozniacki has apparently moved on from that breakup with golfer Rory McIlroy. And, if she got anything out of the heartache, it might be a new passion for the links.

The tennis star recently hit a driving range and posted this video of her swing to her Instagram account.



That 200 yards might be more like 200 feet, but it's still a pretty decent drive.

Just wondering if she pictured a certain someone's face on the ball.

Rory McIlroy laughs off PA system playing ‘Sweet Caroline’ during interview (VIDEO)


Rory McIlroy was doing an interview with BBC during halftime of a rugby match when the PA system suddenly began playing Neil Diamond’s 'Sweet Caroline.' Not a big deal until you realize it was a not-so-subtle reference to McIlroy's ex-fiancee, Caroline Wozniacki — whom he unceremoniously dumped in May.


During halftime of the Ulster-Connacht match, the golfer was talking about his Christmas when he realized the crowd was facetiously singing along to the song, prompting him to laugh, lower his head and say, “oh, dear.”



Now he's ready for those Red Sox games at Fenway.

Caroline Wozniacki dating Redskins' Ryan Kerrigan: Report

We all remember Caroline Wozniacki's heartbreak and embarrassment when golfer Rory McIlroy called off their wedding with the tennis star over the phone.

The Irish golfer moved on from Woz with a bevy of beauties but it's been a while since we've seen the tennis star hanging with anyone except her best bud Serena Williams.



Wozniacki said after the breakup that she could now try and date a “taller guy,” taking a jab at the relatively short McIlroy.

And that taller — and bigger — guy has turned out to be Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan.

Here they are at a charity event:

Woz should help ease the hurt of Kerrigan's own pain — namely the Redskins' disastrous season.

Serena Williams gives booty-ful reason why she won't run a marathon

Serena Williams waited patiently at the finish line of last Sunday's NYC Marathon for her tennis rival and good friend Caroline Wozniacki to complete the race — which she did in an impressive 3 hours, 27 minutes.

And no one was happier than the teary-eyed Williams.



On Friday, Williams began her morning with a brief “SerenaFriday” question-and-answer session on Twitter, which led to an inquiry about her interest in running the New York City marathon like her tennis pal did.

The No. 1 women's player in the world didn't mince words and got right to the bottom line:

"My ass is too big."
My guess is that there would be too many runners who would gladly drop to the back of the pack to follow Williams' booty for 26.2 miles.

Serena Williams blew off TV appearances after post US Open partying: Report

Morning TV hosts were left staring into their decorative coffee cups after Serena Williams missed all of her appearances because she partied until the early hours of Monday morning with Caroline Wozniacki after winning the US Open Sunday.

The 32-year-old Williams was due on NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” followed by “Live With Kelly and Michael” with her trophy on Monday morning after winning her 18th Grand Slam title.

But was a no-show.



The tennis star canceled her appearances because she was too tired after she celebrated with her friend and final opponent Wozniacki — who’s become close to Williams following Wozniacki’s public breakup with golfer Rory McIlroy, reports Page Six of the NY Post.



Williams' missed bookings left gaps bigger than Michael Strahan's grin-splitter in the talk shows' lineups.

The two finalists were spotted having a good time at Manhattan hot spots Tao and VIP Room, where they posted pictures of themselves with Joe Jonas and model Gigi Hadid.


Fellow clubgoers at VIP Room said Williams’ group of nearly 30 ordered Champagne and vodka and danced until around 3 a.m.

Williams — who withdrew from Wimbledon earlier this summer after a “viral illness” left her disoriented — had been out late, her team, including her agent and publicist, decided she was “too tired” to do a round of TV shows on a few hours’ sleep after two weeks of intense competition.

She did make a 10:30 a.m. appearance at the Empire State Building Monday morning for a photo shoot.

Caroline Wozniacki takes 'short' jab at Rory McIlroy by wearing stilettos (PHOTO)

After being punched in the gut by by her ex-fiancee's surprise public breakup, Caroline Wozniacki has taken a short jab at Rory McIlroy — by wearing a pair of stiletto high heels.

The 5-foot-10 tennis player posted a picture of herself shopping with a friend in Istanbul where she is competing in the Istanbul Cup with the following words:

"Out and about in Istanbul. It's been three years since I have worn high heels on a normal day out. #feelsgood #looksgood #shopping #highheels #sun."


Wozniacki, who dated McIlroy for three years, is almost three inches taller than the 5-foot-8 Irish golfer.



She later deleted the post on Instagram.

McIlroy called off their engagement at a press conference in May, just days after sending out their wedding invitations.

The golfer is currently towering over the leader board at the British Open and was spotted in Dublin with model Nadia Forde earlier this month.

Needless to say, he probably isn't even paying attention.

Rory McIlroy publicly loses some excess baggage once again: Report

Rory McIlroy was looking for some lost baggage the other day — and he wasn't talking about his breakup with ex-fiancee Caroline Wozniacki.

The sixth-ranked golfer in the world flew out of Newark, headed for Dublin, after finishing in a 23rd-place tie at the U.S. Open and, to his dismay, discovered that his clubs had not arrived with him.




On Tuesday morning, he politely asked @United just where the clubs could be, given that he does “sort of need them this week” in the Irish Open.

United was quick to respond — and given the golfer's high profile — went the extra sky mile to accommodate McIlroy:


And apparently it worked:




Talk about preferential treatment.

McIlroy dumped Wozniacki because relationship was a distraction: Report

Golfer Rory McIlroy may have publicly told the world he was calling off his wedding to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki at an awkward press conference, but the fickle Irishman left a lot of questions about his sudden change of heart at the dais.

Now sources say McIlroy abruptly called things off with his Danish fiancee partly because his personal life was affecting his game, reports Page Six of the N.Y. Post.

"Rory’s game hasn’t been as consistently good in the time he’s been with Caroline," said the source. "He was a young guy in love and was flying around the world to see her play in tournaments or meet up with her. He was missing practice rounds. It was a distraction.

"When you have two players focused on being No. 1, it’s a huge commitment to see each other, physically and emotionally," added the source. "As tough as the decision to end the relationship might have been, it is wise to do it now rather than after they were married."



The source added that McIlroy’s personal life was further complicated by his legal battle with his former management company, a dispute that has been hanging over him for much of the season.

Another source said of McIlroy’s performance in the Players Championship earlier this month, "He is one of the most talented golfers out there, but his game was erratic."

The glamorous sports couple had been dating since 2011. They were engaged on New Year’s Eve. McIlroy said on Wednesday that he had broken up with her days after wedding invitations had gone out.

"The problem is mine. The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize that I wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails,” McIlroy said. He later said the decision was “mutual…it was the best for both of us."

A tennis source said the timing of their split was tough for Wozniacki since she is competing in the French Open, which starts in Paris on Sunday.

Reps for McIlroy and Wozniacki could not be reached for comment.

Spurned Wozniacki takes jab at Man U fan McIlroy via Twitter

Spurned Caroline Wozniacki took a Twitter dig at Manchester United supporter and former fiance Rory McIlroy after his "totally unexpected" wedding cancellation just days after the couple sent out wedding invitations.

The 23-year-old tennis star broke her silence over the split, taking to Twitter to thank her fans for their support.



But it seemed she could not resist a subtle dig at her ex-fiance, who famously follows Manchester United, when she wrote how she was happy to be a Liverpool fan.

She wrote: "It's a hard time for me right now. Thanks for all the sweet messages! Happy I support Liverpool right now because I know I'll never walk alone."





During the courtship phase of their relationship, Wozniacki had often engaged in online soccer exchanges  with McIlroy, once posting a photograph of a Liverpool shirt on her wall as she wrote: "Loving the look, Liverpool Jersey hanging on the wall above the man utd one."

She lovingly added she "might be in trouble" for posting the photo.

Her most recent tweet was meant to be anything but cute after McIlroy — who was playing golf with former Red Devils players Peter Schmeichel, Phil Neville and Teddy Sheringham in Wednesday's pro-am ahead of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth — dumped her in front of the world.

On Wednesday, just days after Wozniacki and McIlroy sent out wedding invitations, the golfer announced at a press conference that they had split because he was not ready for "all that marriage entails." 

Now Wozniacki, who is currently ranked number 14 in the world, may not compete in the French Open tournament in Paris following the very public break up, due to a knee injury.

A source close to the tennis ace said she may now pull out of the tournament, which starts on Sunday, with the draw due to be made on Friday.

Rory McIlroy breaks off engagement to Caroline Wozniacki just days after sending out wedding invites: Report

It look like Rory McIlroy has lost more than his game these days, the Irish golfer has also lost his nerve.

McIlroy, looking visibly upset at a press conference ahead of an upcoming tournament, announced he had broken off his five-month engagement to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki just days after sending out wedding invitations.

The former world number-one ranked golfer said the high-profile split was "mutual and amicable" after confirming the relationship had ended because he realized he was not ready for marriage.

"There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people," he glumly said Wednesday.



This wouldn't be the first breakup for the pair, who got engaged on New Year's Day after more than two years together. 

McIlroy called it off with Wozniacki in April last year — days after she posted a picture on Twitter showing him asleep and open-mouthed with his glasses on. 

Friends of the pair said there was no way back and the tennis star was described as being "absolutely devastated."



In a brief statement issued through his Dublin-based communications consultants, McIlroy, said he was making the announcement publicly after talking to Wozniacki.

"The problem is mine," he said.

'The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realize 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."

Following the announcement, the golfer looked distracted as he attended a press conference at the Wentworth course in Surrey ahead of his latest tournament.



He said he wanted to get his head into golf but admitted it would be difficult on the back of a very public break-up.

"Obviously (it's) quite a difficult time for Caroline and myself, and I think the statement really said it all this morning," he said.

"It was mutual and amicable and we both thought it was the best for us, the best for both of us. Time to move on and I think I've said all that I need to say."

Caroline Wozniacki's engagement ring is the size of a Titleist (PHOTO)

Caroline Wozniacki flew to Abu Dhabi on Sunday to watch her fiance Rory McIlroy finish second at the Abu Dhabi Championship. Wozniacki lost to Garbine Muguruza of Spain in the Australian Open which freed up her schedule to watch some golf.

McIlroy proposed over New Year's and by the looks of it, was thinking about golf balls when he picked out the diamond.

Good thing he wasn't concentrating on tennis.



McIlroy lost by one to Pablo Larrazabal after receiving a two-stroke penalty on Saturday evening.

But at least Wozniacki went home with a trophy.

Rory McIlroy drives tennis ball into Yale Bowl tunnel

When you're the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world you get the opportunity to do a lot of things normal people don't get to do— or get caught doing.  Just ask Tiger Woods.

What was Rory McIlroy doing driving tennis balls through a tunnel at the Yale Bowl on Monday?  Who knows  but it probably had something to do with promoting the New Haven Open tennis tournament his girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki was competing in.

The winner of this year's PGA Championship took a couple of swings at the fuzzy yellow balls before finally getting one through the tunnel.



McIlroy was probably just trying to impress his Danish girl with the new challenge.


Wozniacki is the four-time defending champion at New Haven but I doubt she'll be whacking golf balls over a net anytime soon.
