Kelley Cahill
2023 Masters winner Jon Rahm is married to his stunning college sweetheart, Kelley.
The pair met at Arizona State University, where they lived together for two years there before they finally became a couple.
And they were once almost torn apart by a fiercely competitive tennis match they played against each other.
Cahill said: “He’s killing forehands … crosscourt zingers, and I’m thinking, ‘This can’t be right’.
“He was so good. I was so upset. I was actually mad for a day or two. We have not stepped foot on a tennis court since.”
Rahm married Cahill in the Spanish city of Bilbao at the end of 2019.

Erica Stoll
Rory McIlroy moved on from Carolina Wozniacki with Erica Stoll, who he married in 2017 in a ceremony in Northern Ireland.
Erica was working for the PGA when Rory met her as the manager of the Championship Volunteer Operations for the PGA of America in 2011.
She has always had an interest in sports, leading her to understand the pressures of his job.
They actually first set eyes on each other in 2012 when Rory nearly ruined the Ryder Cup Miracle at Medinah by oversleeping.
Erica was the PGA employee who came to his rescue before police rushed him to the course that September morning.

Katherine Gaal
Seen cheering Matt Fitzpatrick on at The Open in July was blonde beauty Katherine.
A former Miss Jersey runner-up from 2014, the couple made things official in January with a social media post – then Fitzpatrick later shared a heartfelt message to Katherine on Valentine’s Day.
They have attended several golf tournaments together this year including the RBC Heritage, which Fitzpatrick won.
Earlier that month Fitzpatrick played alongside Katherine at Augusta for the Par 3 contest at the 2023 Masters.
Katherine looked the part in her green Masters cap and matching trainers but she is not a natural when it comes to golf, having previously worked as a tennis professional at Bay Head Yacht Club in New Jersey.

Alisson Stokke
Californian beauty Alisson, 34, married Rickie Fowler in 2019.
The brunette is a pole vaulter who rose to fame after photos of her competing in 2007, aged 17, went viral.
The photos gained the attention of sports blog “With Leather”, who have a mainly male audience, and from there the images went worldwide, with comment pieces from The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Der Spiegel and even the BBC.
Stokke wasn’t entirely happy with her new found fame, telling The Washington Post: “It just all feels really demeaning.
“I worked so hard for pole vaulting and all this other stuff, and it’s almost like that doesn’t matter.
“Nobody sees that. Nobody really sees me.
Stokke just missed out on qualification for the US team for 2012 Olympics in London.
