Rory McIlroy And Wife Erica Stoll Announce Divorce After 7 Years

Golf star Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll have filed for divorce in Florida, according to court documents obtained today. The couple, married since 2017, cited "irreconcilable differences" in the filing submitted to Palm Beach County courts on April 11.

The news comes as McIlroy prepares for this weekend's RBC Heritage tournament in South Carolina. The four-time major champion withdrew from last week's Masters Tournament, though he cited no personal reasons at the time.

Stoll, a former PGA of America employee, met McIlroy during the 2012 Ryder Cup. Their relationship began after McIlroy called off his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014. The couple welcomed their daughter Poppy in 2020.

Divorce filings show the pair signed a prenuptial agreement. They're requesting shared custody of their 3-year-old daughter. McIlroy's net worth is estimated at $170 million, according to Forbes.

The announcement has sparked widespread discussion across golf media and social platforms. McIlroy has not commented publicly, maintaining his typical pre-tournament media silence. His agent confirmed the divorce but declined further details.

This marks the second high-profile golf divorce in recent months, following Tiger Woods' 2022 separation. The news comes during a busy stretch of the PGA Tour schedule, with McIlroy currently ranked second in the world.
