Amanda Balionis, the reporter rumoured to be with golf superstar Rory McIlroy

Just weeks after filing for divorce from his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll, there have been rumors circling over Rory McIlroy's relationship with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.

Balionis is married to a college football coach and has turned into a rising star in the TV game since making her debut for the CBS Sports show 'The 19th Hole' at the 2017 Genesis Open.

Since 2017, she has done interviews and analyses for the network on all of the tour events. She's also an NFL and college football sideline reporter.

Since McIlroy's divorce, Balionis has taken her husband's surname out of her social media username, and she's been seen without her wedding ring at previous golf events.

The Daily Mail reports that the CBS reporter has a non-profit organization called 'Puppies and Golf', which McIlroy has recently featured on the charity's Instagram page.

According to the New York Post, the speculation seems to have arisen after Balionis' interview with McIlroy after he secured the Wells Fargo Championship on May 12th.

McIlroy announced his divorce from Stoll straight after his interview with Balionis at the Wells Fargo Championship, creating a frenzy of people thinking the two were potentially dating.

US Weekly has since confirmed the two are not dating and that their relationship is strictly professional amid the speculation.

Despite the ongoing speculation around his private life, Rory McIlroy has still played on the PGA Tour and at the PGA Championship, finishing T32 and T12.

McIlroy will compete at the Canadian Open, which finishes on Sunday, the 2nd of June. The Northern Irishman won the Canadian Open in 2019.
