The US Open 2020 Wags club features a US pop star, a pageant queen and a champion pole vaulter

WITH a glam pop star and sexy actress among the Wags, it’s safe to say all eyes won’t just be on the golfers at the US Open. 

The likes of Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy will battle it out for the second major of the year this week, with their stunning wives and girlfriends sure to be cheering them on.

Golfer Dustin Johnson’s wife, Paulina Gretzky is a successful model and singer

Here, SE Online takes a closer look at the women who’ll be showing their support…

Dustin Johnson’s pop star fiancée – Paulina Gretzky 

Paulina Gretzky is a successful model and pop star – her song Collecting Dust featured on MTV reality show Laguna Beach – and is already part of sporting royalty thanks to her Canadian ice hockey superstar dad, Wayne Gretzky.

She got engaged to Dustin Johnson in August 2013 after a seven-month romance, but things haven’t always been plain sailing for the couple.

Dustin and Paulina reportedly hit a rocky patch in 2018 with the 31-year-old model deleting all trace of American number one Dustin, 35, from her Instagram account.

The golden golf couple – who have two young sons together – have seemingly got things back on track, and Paulina is expected to be supporting her man at the behind-closed-doors US Open.

Boasting stunning lingerie shots and seductive selfies, it’s little wonder the model has over 820k followers on her Instagram account.

She’s already a firm favourite with fans, having appeared on the cover of Golf Digest magazine in 2014.

So proud of you @thesergiogarcia! Your patience and perseverance never cease to amaze me. You’re the best man I know (along with my daddy), and Azalea and I are so lucky to have you. Golf is the hardest sport there is (I’ve played and covered many of them) and sometimes it makes us a little crazy. Anyone who doesn’t understand this or likes to judge has never played golf or they’re in denial. ? Love you and keep on doing you! ? #proudwife @thesergiogarcia #garciafamilylife #teamsergela

2019 was a great year! Delighted to be starting 2020 and a new decade with our @ashfordcastle family. Can’t wait to see what the next 12 months has in store! Happy New Year everyone!

A post shared by RORY (@rorymcilroy) on

The celebration was held at Ashford Castle in Ireland and guests included Stevie Wonder, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and One Direction star Niall Horan.

The pair actually met back in 2012 when Erica worked for the PGA. In fact it was Erica who helped Rory make it for his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup (thanks to a lift in a police car) when he famously got the time wrong.

Rory told Cool FM radio: “We were friends for a couple of years and we knew each other sort of from the golf circuit, and in summer 2014, towards the end of the summer, started to spend a bit more time together and it went from there.”

Despite her high-profile husband, Erica is said to enjoy a quiet, low-key life and gave birth to their daughter Poppy in August.

Thank you for all the 40th birthday messages! Had a lovely quiet weekend safe at home with the family, hunkering down from Hurricane Isaias. Raring and ready to go now to the PGA #Team ?

A post shared by Justin ROSE (@justinprose99) on

Former gymnast Kate Phillips and Justin Rose, 40, began dating in 2000, and have two children together.

They married in 2006, and have one of the longest marriages in the sport, celebrating two decades together and 14 years as husband and wife.

Justin’s golf balls even pay tribute to his wife. Her lucky number is nine so they are emblazoned with 99, apparently for double luck.

The couple set up their own charity together, the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation, which aims to fight childhood hunger.

During their time together, Rose has secured ten PGA Tour wins and 11 European Tour triumphs, as well as his Major win in 2013.
