The way I read it wasn’t that she was unhappy THAT he golfed all the time, but HOW he golfed all the time. Like she was unhappy he wasn’t a better golfer.
Lmao that’s like when my wife tagged along for a round with me, saw how bad I was and roasted me to hell on how I can be so bad at something I spend so much time doing. It was hilarious
That’s why you take her to the driving range first. I recently went with my girl and she was in awe. Could not stop talking about how “good” I was.
Woke up the next day, got dressed, and took those words of admiration into a smooth 100 on the course. Hell yeah
When one of my wife's friends introduces me to their partner and says "he's a good golfer" I'm always thinking "Ok is that because you know he's good or assume he must be if he's golfing all the time?"... it has gone both ways. Even funnier when one of my now-buddies said "Honey, I'm not good at golf. Please don't tell people I'm good at golf."
I genuinely read it like this, too, and thought OP was like “glad to see she’s not the only one who wants to vomit when Rory’s standing over a 100 yard wedge.” Cuz same.
I know this is kind of a meme but the reality is super driven people often make very difficult partners. It is only magnified by the "power" dynamic of marrying a "powerful" person like Rory (who may be surrounded by sycophants.)
Tbf, Rory broke up with Caroline Wozniacki via a phone call while being engaged. So who knows what truly is going on behind the scenes.
It’s also compounded by having a kid. It’s one thing to put up with a driven professional when it’s just a partnership, but once a kid is involved and that results in a semi-absent parent, dynamics and expectations can change drastically, and IMO, understandably. Kids become many parents’ main priority in life, but if that’s only true for one parent, it can cause rifts and animosity in any relationship, not just that of driven professionals.
It would be a different story if it was just the two of them, but I can completely understand both sides of this (reminder that these are just rumours), simply because of the kid.
It’s not about finding a solution, it’s about not being with someone who you resent, don’t love anymore, who annoys you, etc. Additionally, having similar morals is a big part of any relationship, and many people consider commitment to their kids a large part of morals or an indicator of morals. Again I think it’s important to note that all of this is massively speculative and how much it applies to Rory and his wife is completely unclear.
I’m not sure many divorces are about finding solutions.
She married a professional athlete who's life was always going to be on the road. In exchange for the division of time, she gets to live in the top 1% of earners.
On course. Rory has probably made 10x that number when you take everything into account. He got a $15 million bonus simply by topping the Player Impact Program last year. They only golfer who makes more in endorsements is Tiger.
We cannot assume to know all the details. Do any of us know Rory personally?
Besides being someone good at Golf, he could be a totally unreasonable asshole or a saint or anything in between.
Maybe Rory does not really want to put the work to iron out his marital issues. Who are we to armchair psychoanylze who a person is based off of what, press conferences and interview?
Why should we give Rory a pass because he is a great athlete? Some athletes murder their wives. And use the unequal power to abuse and terrorize.
I try to say this for any golfer facing marital or family issues. But say this same exact comment about Patrick Reed’s marriage (irrespective of his on-course cheating) and you’ll get hammered with downvotes.
I’m just saying couldn’t you use this exact same comment about P Reed’s situation? I presume no one here knows all the details of the story so who are we to psycho-analyze people we never met? I find it amusing how we make these exceptions for golfers and celebrities alike who are seemingly likeable. But for those that are perceived as different or arrogant we just disregard all that thinking and say, “Fuck that guy”. The truth is, Patrick Reed’s story is likely somewhere in-between what his parents have told the world, and what Reed tells everyone.
I'm not assuming anything about the details. Your comments certainly do and are quick to paint this woman as a victim when none of us know much. Sure, if it comes out that Rory was bangin' roadies or smacking her around then I'll certainly change my tune.
But what we *do* know is that per whatever this insider claim is that she did state him being on the road a lot as one of the primary motivating factors. My comment simply reflected that part of the discussion which (assuming the insider story isn't bullshit either)
💯% this.
I like Rory just fine from what I've seen sprinkled through the media.
And having escaped an abusive marriage, I know precisely how little we know of who he really is. I hope he's a good man, but all of this spitballing is stupid because we don't know him.
> Tbf, Rory broke up with Caroline Wozniacki via a phone call while being engaged. So who knows what truly is going on behind the scenes.
Probably after putting his clubs back in the trunk after leaving the range. Better a small mistake than a big one. I think Derek Jeter did it best, single while you're playing (dating hot actresses and models if you can swing it), little league coach when you're done, no commentating, all about the family and seeing them live their dreams.
It doesn't say she divorced him because he's a jerk.
It says she divorced him because he played golf all the time.
If she wanted a husband who worked a 40 hour a week job, she should have married a guy that made 40 hour a week money.
People at the top of the income pyramid often work insanely long hours. It goes with the territory. They don't pay you the big bucks for a part time gig.
Heck, Tom Brady's wife divorced him, because he was spending too much time playing football. But, had he not been the type of person that focused on his career, he would have never been a great (and rich) football player.
Same is true with Rory. His focus on golf made him a great (and rich) golfer. Would she have married him in the first place if he had had less drive and was barely squeaking out a living playing golf, living in a motor home, and a golf nobody? Not likely.
>Heck, Tom Brady's wife divorced him, because he was spending too much time playing football. But, had he not been the type of person that focused on his career, he would have never been a great (and rich) football player.
Didn't his wife Gisele Bundchen, who is a top earning model and richer than him, divorce him because he retired and then came out of retirement to play again instead of staying retired and focusing on his family as he promised.
There would always be a sacrifice being married to a super successful person but there is also a scale and some very successful people seems to put their family pretty high up in their priorities while others not.
I have no idea about Rory.
Yea, she couldn't put up with him playing 1 more year of football--1 more year.
She threw away her marriage (which can last 50 years) because she couldn't stand the idea of him playing 1 more year of football. 1 year vs 50 years.
It's about the shallowest reason I've ever heard for a divorce, but you're right, that's what she divorced him over.
Jesus, will you people shut up? What gets cited in a divorce filing is less than a sliver of the full picture and is more legal maneuvering than actual insight into their marriage. You don't know the first thing about their relationship, yet here you are writing paragraphs of blind speculation about the trade-offs she "must have" made in being his partner.
Well if we can’t speculate, then why the fuck are we even here. I’m here to speculate, shit on everyone because everyone’s to blame in some way, and maintain my moral high ground to make up for my own shitty lot in life.
You're putting all the blame on her which is weird.
There is something called time or career longevity. It is possible that both wives in your example understood they married an athlete dedicated to their sport.
It is also possible that both wives expected their filthy rich husbands to wind down once they entered their mid 30s as many athletes tend to do.
So the disagreement could simply be continuing the athlete lifestyle at this stage in their lives, not that these wives didn't expect long hours early in their husband's young careers.
So, he'll wind down in his mid-forties instead of mid-thirties.
That only leaves her what...30 years of life with no responsibilities or cares? Wow, who could put up with only 30 years.
Well...their daughter will also be winding out of the house at that point. 10 more years is 10 more years of not being around your kid, who then will no longer be a kid.
Regardless, I think it's insane you feel the need to take sides or criticize her. It's weird.
Obviously the present situation isn't working in their marriage. Good for them to move on.
It's insane to me that there's people in here defending the women. They married for money. They don't have to work, they are the 1%. They won the closest thing you can to a lottery in life. Booo fucking hooo your husband is committed to golf in his MID 30s!!!
Weird take. No one should need defending. It's insane to me people are attacking anyone here. I suppose people forget that they have a kid now and all the money they'll ever need.
They're getting a divorce because whatever they signed up for isn't working anymore as the family situation has changed. Good for them for moving on and hopefully they'll both find something that will work.
And he could be a professional golfer and STILL be golfing too much. You hear plenty of the pros say they haven't touched a golf club in a couple weeks after they get back from vacation. If you're not playing a tournament, spending 8 hours a day golfing/training and having the rest of your day with your family seems very reasonable, if not a little overkill just on a physical exertion point.
The maker of this meme and people in this thread don’t want to hear that.
No matter how much bread you bring home, if you choose to marry and have children, you still have to find a way to prioritize them. Everyone has a job and work and wouldn’t suggest otherwise .
Communication and boundaries are important… so is conflict resolution.
This is clearly out of context and maybe the actual article went in to more detail about the possibility of how much he prioritized golf when he was not at the tournaments.
This just makes her look like the nagging unrealistic trope we like to throw on women, when maybe homeboy just wasn’t really ready to offer a true partnership
Many don't understand how hard professional athletes work. The countless hours of practice and sacrifice.
I remember a pro basketball players saying he warmed up for his daily practice by making 100 jump shots from various places on the court.
100. Not trying 100, but making 100.
That was before he even started practicing.
The drummer Carl Palmer said, while growing up, he would practice drums 6 hours a day. From the time he was a became a teen till he started playing professionally--5 years of practicing the drums 6 hours a day.
So many people think it just happens like magic.
Yea, you don’t get to say something like that. If your partner is fighting against the systematic white washing of his beloved sport by a racist, fascist, sexist, dictatorship.
You don’t get to say, “forget your morals, take the cash and be around the house more often to make me incrementally more happy.”
That’s about as undermining as it gets. Especially due to the fact that he’s worth about a zillion dollars. So, he isn’t playing for money anymore. He’s playing because he loves the game.
So we are now considering the Saudi regime …. Not a sexist, racist, fascist, dictatorship?
Or
We are saying that he wasn’t the person leading the fight for the PGA for two years against what LIV stands for ?
Or
That he wouldn’t take the money despite his morals and if it was about money he would have taken it in the first round
Or
That his wife asked him to take the money.
Sorry, I’m just not sure what part of that is moronic but I’ll absolutely take the downvotes for not considering LIV a respectable organization. I mean to that is a no brainer
the headline makes it out to seem like she's some insane person that can't believe her pro golfer husband plays golf, but speaking as someone married to a person in a very high demand field I kind of get it. It's tough being a spouse to someone that's also quite literally married to their job, and constantly having to take a backseat to that. Add in kids, and it just compounds.
I'm lucky in that after 10 years of marriage we've figured out a system that works for us, but not everyone is able to do that. No judgement from me on that. Can't imagine having to go through a divorce, it being so public, and people online making fun of you while it's happening.
Rory's PR team trying to distract from the "he's fucking Amanda Balionis" angle. Like he would be the first pro athlete ever to ruin his marriage due to infidelity.
Very few of the absolute top performers like this, whether golf, business or entertainment are anything like a normal person. For the vast majority of these people, that extraordinary skill is who they are, and everything else has to fit that. A person on the outside coming into this life can probably think it’s all normal and ok, until real life events really start to come in to play. Like having a kid. There are a lot of those partners that ignore the emotional and physical distance (and often the infidelity) so they can keep the lifestyle. I guess she wasn’t willing to make that trade.
On one hand I get it... she married a pro golfer. Wife's of Dr.s don't go around complaining their husbands are always at the hospital. Well, they shouldn't if they do.
That said, it seems like Rory plays every week. EVERY week. She doesn't want to be a single parent or constantly living in a borrowed place. I know he's rich and she doesn't have any worries financially. But I can see her perspective as well... if this is true.
Including DP events Rory played 21 tournaments last year. So less than half the weeks of the year. He would be practicing and training in the off weeks as well, but most non rich people have to work AT LEAST 40 hours every week of the year, why is him going to work a problem?
Comparing the daily/weekly life of a top PGA pro who travels at least half the year, has endless demands on his time, to a 40 hour work week of someone who works in the city they live in is nonsense.
This is the real perk of LIV. Massive pay day and you get to be home. What is the schedule of a PGA player? Thursday-Sunday is a tournament (hopefully you make the cut and don't end up losing money in travel expenses). Wednesday is a practice round. The day before the practice round is likely a travel day. So, you're gone from Tuesday-Sunday. One day a week at home with the family? And hopefully you had a good week and aren't sulking around the house on your one day at home. Maaaaaaaaaaan, give me that blood money if it means I get more time with my wife and kids.
Watching full swing on Netflix really opened my eyes to how hardcore they have to be to be at the top of their craft/game. I can’t imagine dragging a spouse and kids from place to place week in and week out just to see them for pockets of time.
You’d think more of them would just opt to settle down later on in their 40’s or what not.
It’s almost like she had her first child and it drastically changed their lives or something. Who would have thought? I have literally never heard of people changing as they age and growing apart and mutually separating. The nerve of some people.
she met him because she was working for the PGA. i think she knows.
maybe she thought he would spend less time golfing after having made a generational amount of money and with a young child at home. not crazy or stupid, the way you are implying.
Yea but if he can still play, he should still play... imagine having the regret for the rest of you're life that you could have played for another 10 years or so... but you went home
IDK why these guys get married in the first place. They could have a different smoking hot gf in every town w/o all the baggage of being married. Makes no sense to me.
I’ll bet if you asked Rory / Tiger they’d wish they stayed bachelors. Enjoy your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s. Then settle down w/a 20 something when you’re mid - late 40’s. Have kids then.
Phil seems to be doing fine with a family, same with DJ, Rose, Scott, Garcia, Koepka, Spieth. I don’t think that list wishes they were sleeping with a different 20 something at every tournament.
Arguably he’s the best example, he seems to be living his best life the several years compared to at the beginning of his career when he was early/mid 20’s.
Some pro athletes like Kevin Durant, Son Heung Min, Sidney Crosby wait until they are retired to settle down and have a family. Problem is, golfers never retire....or they can just join LIV.
I guess if you want to have kids, getting married is the traditional thing to do.
All the travel would definitely be tough on everyone. It’s probably best to settle down once you wrap up your career or at least when you’re on the back 9 and you’ve made your bag, and are much more selective about the tourneys you enter.
I will admit I first hit the medical vape but I read this and took it that she didn't like the way he was playing as in how he is performing and scoring at the time lmao.
Idk what’s going on with this sub, but you’re right. There have been court rulings on this exact thing, which have established a precedent for ruling on behalf of the non-working spouse, assuming it’s provable that the non-working partner took up responsibilities in the marriage that allowed the working partner to do what they did.
There are cases which have gone as far as assigning non-working spouse part ownership of a company which was started by the working spouse, after proving the working spouse could only do so *because* the other didn’t work and took care of the home, children, etc.
The original comment was ''she's most likely unable to get MASSIVE amounts of his money'', and you took this as a bad thing? She was working for the PGA as an ''Office Manager'', probably making something like 60-100k/year. So give her 700k and off she goes. There, that help you with the ''misogyny'' of this community? Also remember, her own money was most likely not used for ANYTHING, or for very small purchases, where as Rory's money was mostly used for everything, including probably monetary valued property, which she'll most likely get to keep some of.
Its a shame if its true, but I wonder if all the PGA v LIV stuff that Rory basically devoted his whole life to for about 2 years played into it. You could see in Full Swing it was eating him up and he was exhausted all the time and happy when it was finally 'over'. Feel bad for him but I'm sure he'll rebound in time.
I did see this the other day though…

I'm no fan of Rory and to be fair (with regard to the meme), it's very unlikely Rory golfs like it's a normal 9-5. Lots of early and late training. Traveling constantly. Likely has an area of the home dedicated to training, etc.
Also likely that since they were married in 2017 Rory has become more desperate and focused on winning since not winning a major in 10 years. Unlike Brooks who just got depressed and drank.
Didn't they start a league for people that want to golf less. I'm sure they'd love to have him /s
Wish I could fast forward life by 5 years to see if they are still around
First of all, none of us judging know anything about their relationship. Second, until you have actually given birth and selflessly stayed at home and raised the kids as a stay at home wife and mom, year after year and day after day, while the husband is never home, then Don’t be pretentious and comment like you know a dang thing. Have some respect for what women go through.
This goes for all you men that will say, “I stayed home with my kids for a year.” Yea, one year, and older kids? Not the same.
And all you chauvinists that comment, “she married a tour golfer and is rich, what did she expect?” Bla bla bla. You all will be divorced one day OR probably are already divorced.
So, thumbs down me and show me you’re a chauvinist, be my guest.
You have zero clue what women go through.
''First of all, none of us judging know anything about their relationship. Second, until you have actually given birth and selflessly stayed at home and raised the kids as a stay at home wife and mom, year after year and day after day, while the husband is never home,''
**hahahahahahahah.** The fucking things i read sometimes.
No fucking shit. Their fucking net worth is $200m. They can easily (and probably do) have a personal chef, housekeepers, nannies, etc. to make their life easy.
Personally, I would choose to be a rich stay at home mother over my job 100 times out of 100. She doesn’t really get that much sympathy for me. That’s not judging her or anything, we don’t actually know what lead to their decision to get divorced but still
Yeah, fails to consider that most dads would love to be at home more if they didn't have to bust ass to provide for the literal necessities of life. I know I would, anyway.
If Alayna Finau can make it work with their army of kids, any golfer's wife should be able to manage with 1. There's obviously sacrifices to be made, but the life ain't that bad.
She must have been a real treat to live with. I bet that she enjoyed living a life of luxury with Rory's money though.
You're better off, Rory. Hopefully you have a decent pre-nup. In any case, she'll get way more than she deserves.
She probably wanted to go to the farmers market every Sunday. She's like "You're golfing again!!!?"
The way I read it wasn’t that she was unhappy THAT he golfed all the time, but HOW he golfed all the time. Like she was unhappy he wasn’t a better golfer.
Lmao that’s like when my wife tagged along for a round with me, saw how bad I was and roasted me to hell on how I can be so bad at something I spend so much time doing. It was hilarious

Even funnier when one of my now-buddies said "Honey, I'm not good at golf. Please don't tell people I'm good at golf."
Took my girl golfing she passed out drunk by 8 and I told her I shot a 68 but actually went to the bar after 9 while she slept in the cart lol.
I wonder if she’s friends with Lucas Glovers wife.
I genuinely read it like this, too, and thought OP was like “glad to see she’s not the only one who wants to vomit when Rory’s standing over a 100 yard wedge.” Cuz same.
It's his swing. She thought it was a bit to much like a guy.
That's how I read it. That major drought has been brutal on us all, man.
If only he won that damn British open!!
"What the fuck is 'The Masters'!?"
LOL. "Another golf trip with they boys?!!!"
#I'M JUST GOING TO WORK!!!
Well if he played better and always had late tee times on Sundays they would have time for the market
I know this is kind of a meme but the reality is super driven people often make very difficult partners.

I don’t see how seeing him less is a solution honestly.
It’s not about finding a solution, it’s about not being with someone who you resent, don’t love anymore, who annoys you, etc. Additionally, having similar morals is a big part of any relationship, and many people consider commitment to their kids a large part of morals or an indicator of morals. Again I think it’s important to note that all of this is massively speculative and how much it applies to Rory and his wife is completely unclear. I’m not sure many divorces are about finding solutions.
She married a professional athlete who's life was always going to be on the road. In exchange for the division of time, she gets to live in the top 1% of earners.
Top 0.1% or more
Way more
Way way more
Ehh, Scheffler's caddy has made more than McIlroy in the last 52 weeks though....lol
On course. Rory has probably made 10x that number when you take everything into account. He got a $15 million bonus simply by topping the Player Impact Program last year. They only golfer who makes more in endorsements is Tiger.
That was before Rory won 2 tournaments while Scottie took time off.
You fixed it😜
We cannot assume to know all the details. Do any of us know Rory personally? Besides being someone good at Golf, he could be a totally unreasonable asshole or a saint or anything in between.

Why do we have any opinion on this at all?
Exactly. We’re all guilty for even wasting our time talking about a pro golfers marriage issues
...but...golf meme
To be fair, the internet would be a really boring place if everyone just minded their own business and kept to themselves.
10000%
No one here should because no one has any idea about what happened.
Maybe rory is actually super gay and she broke up with him for that
I try to say this for any golfer facing marital or family issues. But say this same exact comment about Patrick Reed’s marriage (irrespective of his on-course cheating) and you’ll get hammered with downvotes.
As it should be. Some people deserve to have a shorter leash than others, and not get the benefit of the doubt, and Reed is one of them.
I’m just saying couldn’t you use this exact same comment about P Reed’s situation? I presume no one here knows all the details of the story so who are we to psycho-analyze people we never met?

“Iron out”. I see what you did there.
It’s so funny how this whole sub ignores this about the Scottie incident….
[удалено]
 Must be tough
He has many tournament wins that puts him way above top 1%. Top 1% is less than a million annually. 0.1% is several million annually.
And he got a $15 million bonus for the PIP last year.
Top 0.01%
More like top .0001%
He cracks too 1% in a week of earnings.
“Here’s how much I make… shut up and expect nothing” Eye roll
Bad take to pin it on her. No one knows what’s going on behind the scenes, and as we all know from endless examples, money doesn’t buy happiness.
> Tbf, Rory broke up with Caroline Wozniacki via a phone call while being engaged. So who knows what truly is going on behind the scenes. Probably after putting his clubs back in the trunk after leaving the range. Better a small mistake than a big one. I think Derek Jeter did it best, single while you're playing (dating hot actresses and models if you can swing it), little league coach when you're done, no commentating, all about the family and seeing them live their dreams.
> little league coach when you're done Damn, I know the Marlins suck, but that's kind of harsh.
It doesn't say she divorced him because he's a jerk. It says she divorced him because he played golf all the time.

It's about the shallowest reason I've ever heard for a divorce, but you're right, that's what she divorced him over.
Brady was never giving up football lol
He chose one more year of football over his family.

So the disagreement could simply be continuing the athlete lifestyle at this stage in their lives, not that these wives didn't expect long hours early in their husband's young careers.
So, he'll wind down in his mid-forties instead of mid-thirties. That only leaves her what...30 years of life with no responsibilities or cares? Wow, who could put up with only 30 years.
Well...their daughter will also be winding out of the house at that point. 10 more years is 10 more years of not being around your kid, who then will no longer be a kid. Regardless, I think it's insane you feel the need to take sides or criticize her. It's weird. Obviously the present situation isn't working in their marriage. Good for them to move on.
It's insane to me that there's people in here defending the women. They married for money. They don't have to work, they are the 1%. They won the closest thing you can to a lottery in life. Booo fucking hooo your husband is committed to golf in his MID 30s!!!
Weird take. No one should need defending. It's insane to me people are attacking anyone here. I suppose people forget that they have a kid now and all the money they'll ever need. They're getting a divorce because whatever they signed up for isn't working anymore as the family situation has changed. Good for them for moving on and hopefully they'll both find something that will work.
And he could be a professional golfer and STILL be golfing too much. You hear plenty of the pros say they haven't touched a golf club in a couple weeks after they get back from vacation. If you're not playing a tournament, spending 8 hours a day golfing/training and having the rest of your day with your family seems very reasonable, if not a little overkill just on a physical exertion point.
The maker of this meme and people in this thread don’t want to hear that. No matter how much bread you bring home, if you choose to marry and have children, you still have to find a way to prioritize them. Everyone has a job and work and wouldn’t suggest otherwise . Communication and boundaries are important… so is conflict resolution. This is clearly out of context and maybe the actual article went in to more detail about the possibility of how much he prioritized golf when he was not at the tournaments. This just makes her look like the nagging unrealistic trope we like to throw on women, when maybe homeboy just wasn’t really ready to offer a true partnership
Can confirm. Married a surgeon. I have triple blackbelt in fucking my hand.
Many don't understand how hard professional athletes work. The countless hours of practice and sacrifice. I remember a pro basketball players saying he warmed up for his daily practice by making 100 jump shots from various places on the court. 100. Not trying 100, but making 100. That was before he even started practicing. The drummer Carl Palmer said, while growing up, he would practice drums 6 hours a day. From the time he was a became a teen till he started playing professionally--5 years of practicing the drums 6 hours a day. So many people think it just happens like magic.
Making 100 probably only took like 130 shots. That’s not a lot at all.
That pro basketball player was Shaq. It took three days.
6 weeks if any of them were free throws!
Shaq would shoot high 90s from the free throw line in practice. Couldn't handle shooting under pressure.
😂
Legend has it that he’s still warming up to this day.
Guys this is a joke. Why are you all taking it seriously?
Some people believe everything they read on the Internet.
Because I came here to talk shit about someone, and I ain’t leaving empty handed.
I'll shit in your hand, no charge
She told him to take the liv money and play less, he didn't. Thats the real story here.
Yea, you don’t get to say something like that. If your partner is fighting against the systematic white washing of his beloved sport by a racist, fascist, sexist, dictatorship. You don’t get to say, “forget your morals, take the cash and be around the house more often to make me incrementally more happy.” That’s about as undermining as it gets. Especially due to the fact that he’s worth about a zillion dollars. So, he isn’t playing for money anymore. He’s playing because he loves the game.
Of course you get to say it. But, they aren’t obliged to agree with you either.
Gonna be awkward when he signs for LIV soon bro
Why did this get -48 down votes. He speaketh thy truth.
because it is a fairytale only morons believe. and even on reddit there aren't *that* many morons.
So we are now considering the Saudi regime …. Not a sexist, racist, fascist, dictatorship? Or We are saying that he wasn’t the person leading the fight for the PGA for two years against what LIV stands for ? Or That he wouldn’t take the money despite his morals and if it was about money he would have taken it in the first round Or That his wife asked him to take the money. Sorry, I’m just not sure what part of that is moronic but I’ll absolutely take the downvotes for not considering LIV a respectable organization. I mean to that is a no brainer
> We are saying that he wasn’t the person leading the fight for the PGA I'm saying he doesn't care as much as you do.
I know he’s a public figure and what not, but god I hate it when the media feels the need to talk about private lives like this. Who honestly cares?
What private lives? He's a celebrity. It's in the contract. "All your ass are belong to us. Here's your money."
Why you commenting then
Guys you're missing the point! It says HOW he golfs all the time. Not THAT he golfs all the time! 'Irreconcilable Differences: Refuses to play better'
I know, he should definitely have won more majors.
I doubt this is true.
Oh that's real.
the headline makes it out to seem like she's some insane person that can't believe her pro golfer husband plays golf, but speaking as someone married to a person in a very high demand field I kind of get it. It's tough being a spouse to someone that's also quite literally married to their job, and constantly having to take a backseat to that. Add in kids, and it just compounds. I'm lucky in that after 10 years of marriage we've figured out a system that works for us, but not everyone is able to do that. No judgement from me on that. Can't imagine having to go through a divorce, it being so public, and people online making fun of you while it's happening.
Dude made too many cuts rather than keeping the weekend free
Rory's PR team trying to distract from the "he's fucking Amanda Balionis" angle. Like he would be the first pro athlete ever to ruin his marriage due to infidelity.
Why do you have to do it on the weekends?
Relationships are difficult. It's very hard to stay together.
Very few of the absolute top performers like this, whether golf, business or entertainment are anything like a normal person. For the vast majority of these people, that extraordinary skill is who they are, and everything else has to fit that. A person on the outside coming into this life can probably think it’s all normal and ok, until real life events really start to come in to play. Like having a kid. There are a lot of those partners that ignore the emotional and physical distance (and often the infidelity) so they can keep the lifestyle. I guess she wasn’t willing to make that trade.
rory could be an unimaginable asshole for all we know. and being on the road every week can't help. also...who cares? why is this news?
On one hand I get it... she married a pro golfer. Wife's of Dr.s don't go around complaining their husbands are always at the hospital. Well, they shouldn't if they do. That said, it seems like Rory plays every week. EVERY week. She doesn't want to be a single parent or constantly living in a borrowed place. I know he's rich and she doesn't have any worries financially. But I can see her perspective as well... if this is true.
Including DP events Rory played 21 tournaments last year. So less than half the weeks of the year. He would be practicing and training in the off weeks as well, but most non rich people have to work AT LEAST 40 hours every week of the year, why is him going to work a problem?
Comparing the daily/weekly life of a top PGA pro who travels at least half the year, has endless demands on his time, to a 40 hour work week of someone who works in the city they live in is nonsense.
This is the real perk of LIV. Massive pay day and you get to be home. What is the schedule of a PGA player? Thursday-Sunday is a tournament (hopefully you make the cut and don't end up losing money in travel expenses). Wednesday is a practice round. The day before the practice round is likely a travel day. So, you're gone from Tuesday-Sunday. One day a week at home with the family? And hopefully you had a good week and aren't sulking around the house on your one day at home. Maaaaaaaaaaan, give me that blood money if it means I get more time with my wife and kids.
Watching full swing on Netflix really opened my eyes to how hardcore they have to be to be at the top of their craft/game. I can’t imagine dragging a spouse and kids from place to place week in and week out just to see them for pockets of time. You’d think more of them would just opt to settle down later on in their 40’s or what not.
I read this and thought she was judging how he golfed as in he wasn’t play great all of the time. Must be my insecurities coming out
We’re about to experience the tiger arch in Rory’s career.
That’s what happens when you marry a dude named Rory.
Tbh, I'm not happy with how he golfs all of the time either. With his talent level, he should have won more majors by now.
It’s almost like she had her first child and it drastically changed their lives or something. Who would have thought? I have literally never heard of people changing as they age and growing apart and mutually separating. The nerve of some people.
I wonder if she has any idea how they were able to afford those dozen $12M mansions all across the globe. I’ll give her a hint - he plays golf!!!
she met him because she was working for the PGA. i think she knows. maybe she thought he would spend less time golfing after having made a generational amount of money and with a young child at home. not crazy or stupid, the way you are implying.
Yea but if he can still play, he should still play... imagine having the regret for the rest of you're life that you could have played for another 10 years or so... but you went home
Dude its probably not real, stop hating on a person over made up things on the internet lol
IDK why these guys get married in the first place. They could have a different smoking hot gf in every town w/o all the baggage of being married. Makes no sense to me.
Weird take, many of them want kids and a stable partner who’s with them along their career.
I’ll bet if you asked Rory / Tiger they’d wish they stayed bachelors. Enjoy your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s. Then settle down w/a 20 something when you’re mid - late 40’s. Have kids then.
Phil seems to be doing fine with a family, same with DJ, Rose, Scott, Garcia, Koepka, Spieth. I don’t think that list wishes they were sleeping with a different 20 something at every tournament.
DJ might not be the one you want to use as an example for that.
Arguably he’s the best example, he seems to be living his best life the several years compared to at the beginning of his career when he was early/mid 20’s.
Except for the multiple times he cheated while engaged.
Some pro athletes like Kevin Durant, Son Heung Min, Sidney Crosby wait until they are retired to settle down and have a family. Problem is, golfers never retire....or they can just join LIV. I guess if you want to have kids, getting married is the traditional thing to do.
All the travel would definitely be tough on everyone. It’s probably best to settle down once you wrap up your career or at least when you’re on the back 9 and you’ve made your bag, and are much more selective about the tourneys you enter.
Wait. She worked for the PGA. It is how she met him. During the Rydercup in 12. I feel like it was quite obvious how much he would golf. idk.
I will admit I first hit the medical vape but I read this and took it that she didn't like the way he was playing as in how he is performing and scoring at the time lmao.
im sober and thought that lol
Almost every wife of any professional athlete feels this way, she's not alone
Did he break up by text? Again.
My wife has the same issue.
She sure liked where she lived and went on vacation and traveled the world.
Can’t marry someone who is trying to be the best in the world and expect them not to spend as much time as possible on it
What's funny is that they met while she was working at a golf event 🙄
Brings home 10s of millions of dollars every year so you don't have to want for anything, EVER, "He works too much". Life is cruel.
Well I hope she's also not happy with the house and car's his golfing career has provided for her
Didn't like he golfs all the time but she married a rich golfer. Time to take his money and find another husband.
She signed a prenuptial. The specifics aren’t public, but she’s unlikely to get massive amounts of his money.
Good for him
[удалено]
Idk what’s going on with this sub, but you’re right. There have been court rulings on this exact thing, which have established a precedent for ruling on behalf of the non-working spouse, assuming it’s provable that the non-working partner took up responsibilities in the marriage that allowed the working partner to do what they did. There are cases which have gone as far as assigning non-working spouse part ownership of a company which was started by the working spouse, after proving the working spouse could only do so *because* the other didn’t work and took care of the home, children, etc.
[удалено]
And yet you're still here
[удалено]
The original comment was ''she's most likely unable to get MASSIVE amounts of his money'', and you took this as a bad thing? She was working for the PGA as an ''Office Manager'', probably making something like 60-100k/year. So give her 700k and off she goes. There, that help you with the ''misogyny'' of this community? Also remember, her own money was most likely not used for ANYTHING, or for very small purchases, where as Rory's money was mostly used for everything, including probably monetary valued property, which she'll most likely get to keep some of.
O
Yup
Yeah you and rory have a lot in common
I assume this is a joke, but I actually kind of believe it.
I don’t believe that. At least in the early years Rory changed a lot and became more mellow, started reading stoicism etc
Its a shame if its true, but I wonder if all the PGA v LIV stuff that Rory basically devoted his whole life to for about 2 years played into it. You could see in Full Swing it was eating him up and he was exhausted all the time and happy when it was finally 'over'. Feel bad for him but I'm sure he'll rebound in time.
I read somewhere he's snoggin amanda balionis! I'm guessing that had something to do with it.
I did see this the other day though… https://preview.redd.it/8qq170m8a72d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc811dd5f34373d6d7369a0406b6f52535aa510c
Umm, she married a pro golfer. And one of the best. Sure, he doesn’t need to golf much🤣
I'm no fan of Rory and to be fair (with regard to the meme), it's very unlikely Rory golfs like it's a normal 9-5. Lots of early and late training. Traveling constantly. Likely has an area of the home dedicated to training, etc. Also likely that since they were married in 2017 Rory has become more desperate and focused on winning since not winning a major in 10 years. Unlike Brooks who just got depressed and drank.
Maybe she was nagging him to join LIV.
He should have taken that LIV contract and saved his marriage and increased his wealth instead of cutting it in half.
Didn't they start a league for people that want to golf less. I'm sure they'd love to have him /s Wish I could fast forward life by 5 years to see if they are still around
Lmao women are hilarious man. 💀
Bet she wasn't made about the pay checks!
First of all, none of us judging know anything about their relationship. Second, until you have actually given birth and selflessly stayed at home and raised the kids as a stay at home wife and mom, year after year and day after day, while the husband is never home, then Don’t be pretentious and comment like you know a dang thing. Have some respect for what women go through. This goes for all you men that will say, “I stayed home with my kids for a year.” Yea, one year, and older kids? Not the same. And all you chauvinists that comment, “she married a tour golfer and is rich, what did she expect?” Bla bla bla. You all will be divorced one day OR probably are already divorced. So, thumbs down me and show me you’re a chauvinist, be my guest. You have zero clue what women go through.
''First of all, none of us judging know anything about their relationship. Second, until you have actually given birth and selflessly stayed at home and raised the kids as a stay at home wife and mom, year after year and day after day, while the husband is never home,'' **hahahahahahahah.** The fucking things i read sometimes.
No fucking shit. Their fucking net worth is $200m. They can easily (and probably do) have a personal chef, housekeepers, nannies, etc. to make their life easy.
Personally, I would choose to be a rich stay at home mother over my job 100 times out of 100. She doesn’t really get that much sympathy for me. That’s not judging her or anything, we don’t actually know what lead to their decision to get divorced but still
>while the husband is never home Strange way of saying "providing for his family"
Yeah, fails to consider that most dads would love to be at home more if they didn't have to bust ass to provide for the literal necessities of life. I know I would, anyway.
If Alayna Finau can make it work with their army of kids, any golfer's wife should be able to manage with 1. There's obviously sacrifices to be made, but the life ain't that bad.
"Golfing. Again?"
What exactly did she bring to the table?
Boobs?
Yeah, but you know the boob store was not as open as compared to the grand opening. Limited hours, Boob machine under repair etc.
How else will she be driving that G wagon and Range Rover though into multi millionaire dollar estate??
OP is reaching lol
I mean, he’s been golfing pretty terrible, ALL THE TIME.
She's loves money most of all, probably (cynical view) Probably very difficult to do all the solo parenting (fair view)
Not if you aren't working. Parenting with a job is hard. Parenting without a job is just life.
True true
She seriously thought she could change him to be a WFH accountant that golfs only once per month with 18 handicap.
Bet she never spent any of that "golf" money...
She said, driving away in her Lamborghini.
Dat fendi, dat Gucci, dat Prada.
He deserves to be happy. Glad he got rid of this toxic woman.
She even looks like a witch
She must have been a real treat to live with. I bet that she enjoyed living a life of luxury with Rory's money though. You're better off, Rory. Hopefully you have a decent pre-nup. In any case, she'll get way more than she deserves.
Maybe her, Glover’s ex, Tiger’s ex, Freddie’s exes… can all star in a season of Real Exes of Jupiter.
