Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have a relationship that goes far beyond golf and now a very personal side of it is revealed in a new book. The latest account from golf journalist Alan Shipnuck reveals that Woods would send McIlroy messages late at night, sometimes as late as 4 a.m., causing tension in the home. According to the book, those messages also upset McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll. This story is not just about texts. It shows how close the two golf stars have come over the years, from idols and fans to close friends and business partners. At the same time, Woods is dealing with serious personal and legal troubles that have put his career in doubt again.

Tiger Woods’ 4 a.m. messages to Rory McIlroy reveal deep friendship and personal routine

The book shares a simple but surprising moment. Rory McIlroy once said that Tiger Woods would message him at strange hours, often in the middle of the night. One message read, “Raising up. What are you doing?”McIlroy said Woods struggles with sleep and often trains late. But these late-night messages didn’t always sit well at home. She said, “Erica got really upset about it. He was texting me in the middle of the night and I was like, ‘Tiger is at the gym.'”Still, it shows how comfortable they are with each other. Woods was McIlroy’s hero growing up. McIlroy watched him as a child and later got a chance to play with him in 2010. Over time, that respect grew into a genuine friendship.McIlroy once said, “He’s an interesting character… You could spend two hours with him and see four different sides.” He also praised Woods for being thoughtful and always learning.Their bond grew even stronger after Woods’ serious car accident in 2021. McIlroy visited him during his recovery, which showed how close they had come along the way.

Today, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy aren’t just friends, they’re also business partners. He co-founded TMRW Sports, the company behind the new indoor golf league TGL. The two have also worked together on PGA Tour matters.McIlroy has spoken openly about how much Woods means to him. He said, “He has been my idol and hero… I consider myself very fortunate to have known him more closely than some people.”However, things are not easy for Woods right now. Recently he faced legal trouble after a car accident in Florida. Police said he showed signs of impairment, although Woods told them he had not been drinking and had previously taken medication.He has been charged with driving under the influence, causing damage to property and refusing a lawful test. Woods has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court on May 5. Reports also say that he has traveled to Switzerland for rehabilitation.Because of this, Woods is missing this year’s Masters, where McIlroy recently completed the career Grand Slam, joining legends like Jack Nicklaus and Woods.

donald trump This time there was no retreat. In a lengthy post on his Truth Social account on Thursday, the US President openly attacked four well-known conservative voices: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and alex jones. He called them “losers” and “stupid people” and said they only speak out against him to get attention. This came after all four publicly questioned his viewpoints and ideas, creating a clear divide within his own support base. Trump claimed that these critics do not represent his movement and are simply trying to remain relevant.In his post, Donald Trump wrote that these commentators have “low intelligence” and said they will “say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap publicity.” They also pointed to his past career, claiming that he has lost influence and is now trying to garner clicks through podcasts and online content.

Donald Trump hits out at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones in sharp public message

Donald Trump’s message was long and very direct. He didn’t just disagree, he questioned her credibility and past work. He said that Tucker Carlson was “a broken man” after leaving Fox News. He brought up an old debate with Megyn Kelly and criticized her tone.She also criticized Candace Owens for her past comments about the First Lady of France and said Alex Jones suffered financial losses following legal cases involving false claims about the Sandy Hook tragedy.Donald Trump reiterated that these voices are not part of his core support base. “MAGA agrees with me,” he said, adding that their focus is on larger national and global issues. He also claimed that these critics often try to contact him but he chooses not to respond.

Why do Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones disagree with Donald Trump?

The tension did not start suddenly. Over the past few weeks, these commentators have shared their concerns about Trump’s tone, decision-making style, and how he handles major global affairs.Tucker Carlson has questioned whether Trump is living up to his earlier promises. Megyn Kelly has raised concerns about messaging and public communications. Candace Owens has also spoken out about what she sees as inconsistencies. Alex Jones, known for strong opinions, has criticized Trump’s approach and direction.All of them, in different ways, suggested that Trump should focus more on unity and clarity rather than reacting harshly to criticism. Their comments were not identical, but the common thing was that they expected a different approach from him. Trump clearly did not agree. His response suggests that this is no longer a quiet disagreement but a public split between him and some of his former supporters.

An Indian-origin woman called America a stolen land and said that those who are blaming immigrants are also immigrants or descendants of immigrants.

Ankita, an Indian-origin woman, recently spoke at a city council meeting in Frisco and addressed the anti-India narrative that arises at these meetings without any reaction. The woman said that those who are blaming immigrants for all their problems are also immigrants or descendants of immigrants from Europe, because America is stolen land and it is the country’s heritage. Introducing herself as Ankita, she said, “I am here to address those hateful and racist people who feel confident and protected enough to consistently come to the mic at multiple meetings in Frisco, Plano and Irving to disparage immigrants and repeatedly target members of the Frisco community.” He said that these racist comments made in city council meetings, which can be seen across the world, are going viral and people are seeing how such speakers are enjoying impunity as there is no intervention or any consequences for the hateful comments being made targeting Indians. Ankita said, these comments do not physically harm anyone inside these meetings, but they do harm community members outside. “Why do immigrants come to this country? Well, immigrants come to America looking for a better life but instead of welcoming them, the government crushes their hopes and dreams with oppression. Their labor is exploited, they are labeled criminals or aliens, they are forcibly removed, detained, deported… and racist people blame them for their problems,” Ankita urged everyone to think about how the government is doing healthcare for the American people. How is it spending so much money on immigration instead of care or housing? “We live on stolen land and that land was stolen from the indigenous people. This is the heritage of this country. The same people who blame immigrants for their problems are immigrants or descendants of immigrants who came here from Europe. There is no place for violence and racism in Frisco. And the violent mob outside Frisco temples and mosques needs to be charged and prosecuted,” Ankita said. Another Indian speaker, Pranavi Chhatrathi, protested at how Indian-American children were attacked as social media commentators pointed out that the Boy Scouts attending previous city council meetings were all Indian.Frisco City Council meetings have become controversial as several speakers in the past have attacked Frisco’s Indian community and called for an ‘Indian takeover’ of the city.
