Rory McIlroy And Wife Erica Stoll Announce Divorce After 7 Years...

Golf star Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll have filed for divorce after seven years of marriage, according to court documents obtained today. The filing comes just weeks after the couple was seen together at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

The news is trending across U.S. sports media as McIlroy remains one of golf's most recognizable figures. The 36-year-old Northern Irish golfer met Stoll, a former PGA of America employee, during the 2012 Ryder Cup in Chicago.

Insiders suggest the separation has been amicable, with both parties agreeing to shared custody of their 5-year-old daughter. The divorce petition cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for dissolution, a common legal phrasing in Florida where the documents were filed.

McIlroy's representatives confirmed the news but requested privacy for the family. The timing has drawn attention as McIlroy prepares for next month's PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

Social media reaction has been mixed, with many fans expressing surprise given the couple's recent public appearances. Others have noted McIlroy's improved performance this season, winning two tournaments already in 2026.

The divorce proceedings are expected to be finalized within months under Florida's streamlined procedures. Neither party has commented on potential financial settlements regarding their Palm Beach estate and other assets.

This marks McIlroy's second high-profile relationship dissolution following his broken engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014. Stoll, 38, has maintained a low public profile since leaving her PGA role in 2017.
