Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll have decided to end their marriage after being together for seven years. The divorce was filed by McIlroy, 35, in Florida on Monday, May 13. The exact reason for their separation has not been disclosed yet.

They have a daughter named Poppy, born in August 2020. The news of their separation comes almost one month after their seventh wedding anniversary. McIlroy did not acknowledge the occasion on social media.
McIlroy filed the paperwork days before this weekend’s PGA Championship 2024, where he is one of the favorites to win. He won the major in 2014.
This is a developing story.
Editor's P/S:
The news of Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll's divorce is disheartening, as they have been a beloved couple in the golfing world. Their relationship, which began with a chance meeting at the Ryder Cup, seemed like a fairytale. The couple's subsequent engagement and marriage were celebrated by fans, and the birth of their daughter, Poppy, added to their happiness. However, it is important to respect the privacy of both McIlroy and Stoll during this difficult time. The exact reason for their separation remains undisclosed, and it is not appropriate to speculate on the matter. We can only hope that they find peace and happiness in the future.
It is notable that McIlroy filed for divorce just days before the PGA Championship 2024, where he is a favorite to win. This timing may raise questions about the impact of his personal life on his professional performance. McIlroy has a history of success at the PGA Championship, having won the major in 2014. It remains to be seen whether his recent separation will affect his focus and determination during this year's tournament.
