Caroline Wozniacki takes shot at Rory McIlroy’s ex-girlfriend Holly Sweeney?
Caroline Wozniacki appeared to take a shot at her boyfriend Rory McIlroy’s ex-girlfriend Holly Sweeney over the weekend.
Last year, Sweeney hosted a “Golf Pros, Tennis Hoes” themed-party on TV3’s “Come Dine With Me.” The theme for the party was a clear shot at McIlroy and Wozniacki, who are two of the top golfers and tennis players in the world, respectively. The episode was filmed a handful of months after McIlroy left Sweeney for Wozniacki. It aired in Ireland in April, leading to some backlash for Sweeney.
Sweeney’s “Come Dine With Me” episode aired on Channel 4 in the UK on Saturday evening, and it appeared to prompt a response from Wozniacki, who tweeted the following message on Saturday night:
Its amazing how some people can’t move on from the past and get on with their own lifes…

Though the episode was enough to set off Wozniacki, it appears as if Sweeney is over it. She distanced herself from the episode in response to those who asked her about it over Twitter.
@peterdonaghy1 learn to laugh at the past to move on. Ps that’s at least a year old.

It is understandable why Sweeney had a bitter attitude toward Wozniacki and McIlroy at the time. She and Rory were together for six years, including several years as teenagers. Less than a month before being spotted together with Wozniacki, McIlroy was giving Holly credit for helping to keep him grounded. It had to hurt to see McIlroy leave her for Wozniacki and to have them rub the relationship in her face.
All this took place a year ago, and it seems like Holly Sweeney has moved on. It’s too bad the episode aired over the weekend and brought up a bad memory for her, but it will be fun to see if she responds to Caroline.
