McIlroy on Wozniacki's wedding date confirmation: "Is there? Well, she is making all the decisions."

Rory McIlroy will have Bose on his bag for the next eight events

Rory McIlroy might have half his 2014 schedule planned out but according to his fiancée Caroline Wozniacki,  the wedding venue and date have also been decided.

Whether it's happening this year or not she wouldn't say after what The National in the UAE described as "a gutsy come-from-behind victory against Germany’s Sabine Lisicki" at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships."

“We already have a lot set: date, location, everything,” Wozniacki was quoted as saying. 

Will it be this year? 

“You never know," she said.

If McIlroy is in on the plans, he wasn't letting on in Tucson last night.

Told there's a date set, he said: "Is there? Well, she is making all the decisions."

As for his schedule, McIlroy is playing eight events between now and the US Open at Pinehurst No 2. In each of them he will use a golf bag branded by his sponsor, Bose — a quid pro quo for their promise to donate an undisclosed sum to The Rory Foundation. (Nike is not an official bag sponsor).

Several of the bags he uses will then be auctioned off with the proceeds also going to the children's charities supported by The Rory Foundation.
