In the closing moments of triumph at The Masters this Sunday, cameras will pan the gallery to find the significant others of the game's greatest golfers. There are few moments as compelling and heart-wrenching as when couples embrace after sports victories, and these men benefit greatly from the companions they've found. Here are a few of the ladies you should look out for this weekend.
Arguably the most famous of the
significant others (think Victoria Beckham). The two connected last year
and are still going strong. Wozniacki is currently ranked 6th in the
world when it comes to women's tennis. She took the tennis world by
storm in the past year or so and was the second-highest earning female
athlete in the world last year (only trailing Maria Sharapova).
Wozniacki has even invited McIlroy to play with her in charity events,
bringing him onto the court in New York.
In March of 2009, Amy got the news
that every woman fears; she had breast cancer. Husband Phil immediately
postponed his schedule to be by his wife's side while she underwent
treatment. After a birdie to clinch the 2010 Masters, Phil made a
beeline for Amy in one of the most romantic embraces in sports history.
Fortunately, Amy's cancer was detected early and she is living a strong
and healthy life. The couple have three children (Amanda, Sophia, and
Evan).
The statuesque blonde beauty (she
stands 6-foot-4) married her college sweetheart in 2004. Angie
represented her home country of Canada in basketball in the 2000 Summer
Olympics. Angie is currently the chief executive of Bubba Watson, Inc.
Nicki takes a hands-on approach to
her husband's golfing career...as his frequent caddie. The two headed to
the altar in 1993 and soon became one of the first husband and wife
golfer/caddie pairings. As a former college golfer herself, Nicki no
doubt helps the hubby when he gets stuck in a jam. And people say never
to marry a co-worker.
Kate and Justin Rose tied the knot
in December of 2006. Kate sits as Second Vice President on The PGA Tour
Wives Association. She has helped the association raise millions of
dollars since its inception. Expect the Rose children to be highly
athletic, as Kate was a former international gymnast. She represented
her home country of England in many international competitions.
