You’re Rory McIlroy. You’re playing the best golf of your career, capturing trophies at the British Open and PGA Championship in the span of a few weeks. You’re a clear-headed bachelor again after breaking off your engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki — unless, sure, that’s not the reason for the simultaneous spike in your play.
You pal around with Jimmy Fallon and Tiger Woods on the late-night TV circuit. And when it comes to the ready-for-viral cause célèbre of the moment — the Ice Bucket challenge to raise awareness for ALS — you aim as high in your nomination as your lofty status allows.
President George W. Bush. The former leader of the free world? Why not?
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. Another global sports superstar. Makes sense.
Actress Meghan Markle.
Huh. The guy must really like “Suits” on USA. Or her early work as a briefcase holder on “Deal Or No Deal.”
Can’t take it any further than that. But the Northwestern-educated 33-year-old stunner split from her husband last year, and she’s a fan/friend.
No word on whether she’s accepted the challenge yet.
