The Holywood golfer submitted a “petition for dissolution of marriage” on Monday
Rory McIlroy was pictured on Tuesday for the first time since filing for divorce from his wife Erica Stoll . It emerged earlier in the day that the world number two had filed for divorce in Florida.
He and Erica married in 2017 and have one child together, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, who was born in 2020. McIlroy filed for divorce the day after winning the Wells Fargo Championship for the fourth time, and on the eve of the US PGA Championship at Valhalla. The world number two is scheduled to speak to the media on Wednesday afternoon at Valhalla, the scene of his last major victory in 2014.
Three months before his win at Valhalla in 2014, McIlroy broke off his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki just days after sending out wedding invitations. McIlroy announced the news the day before the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, saying in a statement that he was not ready for marriage.
“It was mutual and amicable and we both thought it was the best for both of us. Time to move on and I think I’ve said all that I need to say.” Despite trailing Thomas Bjorn by seven shots heading into the final round, McIlroy carded a closing 66 to lift the trophy, finishing a shot ahead of Lowry.
