As professional golfer Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll file for divorce, the Mirror takes a look at some of the scandals and heartbreaks that have rocked golfing romances over the years
Although golf may be considered a fairly sedate sport, it would appear there's plenty of drama away from the course.
Here, the Mirror takes a look at some of the most wronged exes in golfing history, including one devastated fiancée who was dumped during a two-minute phone call, and McIlroy makes an appearance again... Happily, Caroline, 33, was able to mend her broken heart and went on to marry basketball player David Lee in a stunning Tuscan ceremony - with tennis icon Serena Williams chosen as one of her bridesmaids. The couple have since welcomed two children, Olivia, born 2021, and James, born 2022.
In March 2017, The Scotsman reported that Colin and Gaynor had reached an out-of-court settlement and that the decree had been granted. Last year, Colin tied the knot for the third time - this time to his manager Sarah Casey. In an attempt to get ahead of the story, according to The Daily Beast, Tiger initially tried to smooth things over by reassuring her the allegations were all lies, urging her to speak with Rachel over the phone. Despite hearing Rachel's protestations for half an hour, Elin wasn't convinced, and her suspicions were later confirmed after carrying out her own investigations.
