“A very smiley interview there with Rory McIlroy and Amanda Balionis,” one fan said. While a second replied: “I’m shocked CBS Sports allowed this…”

“That would be a pretty cool couple,” a third speculated. And another wasn’t as convinced: “I would think Amanda gets hugs from many people…”

Amanda, 38, is rumoured to be going through her own divorce, according to The Sun, after she was seen on camera without her wedding ring. She has been married to Bryan Renner, a football coach, since 2022.

The CBS sport presenter has been working for the channel for seven years, covering golf, and she had interviews the Northern Irishman multiple times.

Their most recent interaction came after the Brit hit 13 under par and tied for fourth at the Canadian Open, with his Ryder Cup team-mate Bob MacIntyre winning the tournament.

However, according to US Weekly, McIlroy and Amanda are simply close friends who share a proffesional relationship.

McIlroy looks set to be staying the other side of the Atlantic with the next event in the PGA Tour is the Memorial Open at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio – which take place between June 6-9.

The Northern Irishman will then be hoping to conquer the US Open at Pinehurst between June 13-16.
