Rory McIlroy speaks on divorce debacle for first time and admits wife Erica Stoll’s biggest wish
Rory McIlroy has broken his silence on the dramatic divorce U-turn with his wife Erica Stoll, declaring “everything has worked out for the best” in the newly released third season of Netflix’s golf docuseries “Full Swing”.
The four-time major champion briefly addressed the personal turmoil that made headlines last year when he filed for divorce in May 2024, only to reconcile with Stoll a month later.
“Thankfully, everything has worked out for the best and we’re happy and moving forward and I can’t wait for what lies ahead,” McIlroy revealed in the third episode of the series.
The 35-year-old Northern Irishman’s comments mark his first public discussion of the matter since the couple’s reconciliation last June.
In the documentary, McIlroy candidly discusses the challenges of juggling his professional and personal responsibilities.
“Sometimes I’ve struggled with the balance of trying to be the best golfer, trying to be the best husband or the best dad,” he admits.
