Rory McIlroy’s Divorce Surprises His Fla. Community: ‘People Are Wondering What Happened’ (Exclusive Sources)
Rory McIlroy’s split from Erica Stoll has left members of his Florida community surprised, sources close to the pro golfer tell PEOPLE.
McIlroy, 35, and Stoll, 36, were married for seven years before he filed a petition to dissolve their marriage on May 13 in Florida.
“Rory is fairly down to earth for such a big star,” a source tells PEOPLE.
“However, he is very private and can be nice to be around but he just does NOT love the limelight,” the insider adds.
A second source tells PEOPLE that members in the exclusive Bear’s Club golf course, where McIlroy plays in Jupiter, Fla., “are talking about this and wondering what happened.”
McIlroy is “so private that there wasn’t a lot of speculation concerning his family life,” the source explains, adding, “We are wondering what happened.”
