Amanda Balionis is a regular fixture in the world of golf, and has had several interactions with Rory McIlroy lately, sparking dating rumours.Since Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy made the surprise announcement on May 13 that he was divorcing his wife Erica Stoll, netizens and US media alike seem convinced it’s because he has a thing going with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.According to US media, McIlroy and Balionis have been causing a stir on the PGA Tour and are the “talk of the links” after people noticed the closeness of their relationship.Having established herself as a key figure in golf broadcasting, Balionis will be resuming her role as CBS’s go-to interviewer for the PGA Tour. She most recently featured at last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club, with her on-screen chats including eventual champion Cam Davis.And like those in action, Balionis is straight back on the road, after taking to Instagram to share her next trip to Illinois. Posting a photo with her team she wrote: “That is a wrap from Detroit with the best traveling circus, see ya in Silvis, Illinois squad!”Rory McIlroy – who was previously rumoured to have a romantic connection with Balionis, will not be competing at Deere Run. Following the cancellation of his planned divorce from wife Erica Stoll, McIlroy’s most recent tournament was last month’s US Open, which ended in disappointment for the golfer from Northern Ireland.McIlroy was on the brink of his first major championship win in a decade at Pinehurst No. 2, leading Bryson DeChambeau by two shots with just five holes remaining. However, the 2011 champion’s game took a turn for the worse as he bogeyed three of his last four holes, losing his grip on the lead.
