Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll file for divorce after seven years of marriage
McIlroy has decided to split from Erica Stoll after seven years of marriage. The couple first met in 2012 at the Ryder Cup, when Stoll was working in the organisation as a PGA transport official. The pair were good friends for a few years before they started dating each other in late 2014.
McIlroy and Stoll got engaged in Paris in 2015 and then went on to tie the knot on April 22, 2017, at Ashford Castle, Ireland. The couple also welcomed their daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, into this world in 2020.
Erica Stoll received a degree in marketing from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008, after which she worked with the PGA as a manager of championship volunteer operations. She later joined the PGA Championship at the Oak Hill Country Club.
Stoll has been a big supporter of McIlroy over the years and has been frequently seen at events including the 2023 Ryder Cup. However, McIlroy has now filed for a divorce, with the reason behind it remaining unknown.
