Rory McIlroy moment with wife Erica Stoll after Players Championship win speaks volumes

2024 was a year of upheaval for golfing star Rory McIlroy, who found himself in the midst of a public divorce with his wife Erica Stoll. However, following their decision to withdraw the divorce filing, Stoll and their daughter Poppy were present to witness McIlroy’s triumphant playoff victory over American golfer J. J. Spaun, marking his second Players Championship win.

McIlroy made headlines last year when he filed for divorce on the eve of the PGA Championship, only to retract it in June 2024. The couple now seem to be on good terms, with Stoll seen congratulating the Northern Irishman with a kiss after his win, holding their daughter.

Addressing rumours about his personal life last summer, McIlroy told The Guardian: “There have been rumours about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate,” adding that “Responding to each rumour is a fool’s game.

“Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
