Rory McIlroy’s ex-girlfriend steals Masters limelight as she fires dig years after dumping

Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki shared her telling Masters prediction as ex-fiancee Rory McIlroy forged his comeback at Augusta. McIlroy rallied during his second round on Friday to put himself T3 and back into contention to claim the Green Jacket.

McIlroy’s wife Erica Stoll has been in attendance, while their daughter Poppy stole the show at the Par 3 contest. The 35-year-old golfer experienced a disappointing stumble on the opening day but bounced back impressively on Friday, climbing up the leaderboard.

Rory McIlroy achieved his lifetime goal of winning the Masters on Sunday – but he couldn’t have done it without the backing of his supportive wife, Erica. The couple shocked the world in May 2024 when McIlroy filed for divorce after seven years, citing an ‘irretrievably broken marriage’ as the reason for the split.

Shortly after news of the divorce broke, McIlroy was seen without his wedding ring while playing at the 2024 PGA Championship in Louisville. “Rory McIlroy’s communications team confirmed today that a divorce has been filed,” a spokeswoman for McIlroy said that same month. “They stressed Rory’s desire to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible. He will not be making any further comment.”
