Golf great Tony Jacklin believes marriage would help Mcllroy and company

Two time Men's Major Golf Championship winner Tony Jacklin believes marriage would help Rory Mcllroy, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler to settle down there off field issues and assist them to dominate the sport for the next decade.

The most successful European Ryder Cup captain of all time, Jacklin believes that the young trio should imitate the golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player and find their soul mates early in their lives, Sport24 reported.

Jacklin believes that Mclloroy, Spieth and Fowler are all very young and they need to have a partner who can support them in their efforts to be as good as they can be.

Four times major champion Mcllroy ended his plans to marry tennis player Caroline Wozniacki 12 months ago but Jacklin believes that Mcllroy should soon find his long-term partner.

Northern Irishman Mcllroy became world number one by winning the World Golf Championship (WGC)-Cadillac Match Play Championship two weeks ago while American Spieth claimed an outstanding victory at the Masters Tournament.

Spieth's fellow countryman Fowler produced one of the finest finishes in the history of the game to land the Players Championship.
