Amanda Balionis takes PGA Tour break after Rory McIlroy rumours quashed

Amanda Balionis enjoyed a trip to Las Vegas with friends before returning to CBS Sports for the John Deere Classic. Although the PGA Tour event in Illinois teed off on Thursday, CBS wont broadcast until Saturday, leaving Balionis to experience some well-deserved leisure time. She did confirm her attendance at the John Deere Classic after last Sunday’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, saying: “That is a wrap from Detroit with the best traveling circus, see ya in Silvis, Illinois squad!”

Her Instagram lit up with snapshots of Vegas antics, including nightclub vibes and a friendly reminder note to “drink water” amid the fun. It seems Balionis savoured her break, indulging in a bit of clubbing at On The Record Speakeasy And Club. She also shared a summery poem – called ‘Enjoy Summer’ – with her followers. A known figure in the golf broadcasting circuit, Balionis has recently been tangled in rumours linking her romantically to four-time major winner Rory McIlroy.

However, these rumours were quickly quashed, with US Weekly claiming the pair enjoy a “professional working relationship” and nothing romantic. McIlroy recently patched things up with his wife Erica Stoll after filing for divorce on May 13. In the divorce documents, it was claimed that the marriage had hit rock bottom, with Stoll spotted in the Sunshine State minus her wedding ring. McIlroy and Balionis are known to have a chummy rapport, both in front of the cameras and away from them.
