Get to know about Rory McIlroy’s tempestuous love life
Rory McIlroy enjoyed a high-profile romance with former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki before they split in 2014.
The following year, the golfer began dating Erica Stoll, whom he first met on the PGA Tour in 2011.
Erica often interacted with players through her role as the PGA’s Championship Volunteer Operations Manager.
He even prevented McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup due to some confusion over time zones.
The incident marked the beginning of a deep friendship between the two, with their relationship turning romantic four years ago.
McIlroy and Erica were spotted on several dates in Rochester, New York during the early days of their relationship.
Just eight months later, the couple got engaged in Paris and tied the knot at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017.
Three years later, the couple welcomed daughter Poppy into the world.
During their time together, McIlroy and Erica kept their relationship to themselves, with the golfer attempting to protect his family from cameras during the filming of Netflix’s Full Swing documentary series.
However, after seven years of marriage, McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica.
The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, but the Northern Irish man filed documents with a Florida court.
However, a few weeks later, he took a U-turn on his decision to divorce.
McIlroy told the outlet: “Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and are looking forward to a fresh start.”
The Northern Irishman missed two short putts — including one from just two feet and six inches — to wipe out his two-shot lead heading into the final five holes at Pinehurst.
This golf star has been waiting for almost 10 years to become a winner in major competitions.
And he hasn’t won the U.S. Open since his 2011 success at Congressional Country Club in Maryland.
