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 before McIlroy is set to compete in the 2026 Masters Tournament at Augusta National.
The couple, who married in 2019 after meeting through McIlroy's PGA Tour commitments, cited irreconcilable differences in the Florida court filing. Stoll, a former PGA of America employee, played a key role in McIlroy's career logistics before their relationship turned romantic.
News of the divorce has sparked widespread discussion across sports and entertainment media. McIlroy, currently ranked world No. 3, has been open about how his personal life affects his game. The timing raises questions about his mental preparation for the season's first major championship.
Social media reaction has been divided, with some fans expressing surprise and others noting the couple's increasingly separate public appearances over the past year. McIlroy canceled several pre-tournament media appearances this week without explanation.
The divorce proceedings come during a resurgent period in McIlroy's career. After struggling with form in 2025, he won two early-season events and appeared to be building momentum toward ending his decade-long majors drought.
Legal experts suggest the Florida filing indicates an uncontested divorce, which typically takes about 20 days to finalize under state law. Neither party has yet commented publicly on the split.
This development marks McIlroy's second high-profile relationship dissolution following his broken engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014. The golfer has previously credited Stoll with helping him through that difficult period in his life.
As the news spreads, attention now turns to how the 36-year-old will handle the personal challenge while competing against golf's elite. The Masters begins April 9 at Augusta National, where McIlroy needs a victory to complete the career Grand Slam.
