‘Overwhelmed’ Rory McIlroy reveals what wife Erica Stoll wants after divorce drama
Rory McIlroy has struggled at times with the balancing act of “trying to be the best golfer” and the “best” family man.
The four-time major champion, 35, expanded on life’s ups and downs in the third season of the Netflix docuseries “Full Swing,” which chronicled his stunning divorce reversal from wife Erica Stoll last summer.
“There’s parts of my life that I like to keep as private as possible. Unfortunately, in this line of work, that isn’t always possible. I’ve always tried to be protective of my loved ones from people that have ill intentions. I think it was a wake-up call for me to say, ‘Let’s just focus on the golf for a little bit,’” McIlroy said in the third episode of the series that bowed Tuesday on the streaming platform.
McIlroy originally filed for divorce from Stoll after seven years of marriage in May 2024, days before the opening round of the PGA Championship.
