Rory McIlroy made a statement to the golfing world in 2014.

The 25-year old McIlory had the best year of his career both on and off the course, and he decided to spend part of his Christmas holiday supporting the Ulster Rugby team in their match against Connacht on Friday.

Still, with great success comes great hate, and while Rory was giving a sideline interview for BBC sports, Connacht supporters attempted to troll the Ulster fan with Neil Diamond’s classic, “Sweet Caroline.”

“Haha, oh dear.”

If these guys thought the world’s No. 1-ranked golfer would break after being taunted over his recent split with tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki, they were sadly mistaken.

Since he broke it off with Wozniacki, Rory has literally been on fire.

$200 million Nike endorsement contract. Ryder Cup victory. Two Major Championships.

Check.

Oh, and it looks like Rory’s love-life is doing just fine. McIlroy has joked that golf is his girlfriend at the moment, but he’s also been linked to South African model/actress Shashi Naidoo.
