Rory McIlroy completes major U-turn with Erica Stoll after selling ยฃ2m dream house
Rory McIlroy has completed a major U-turn by returning to the UK for his wife Erica Stoll, over a decade after selling his dream home to relocate to Florida. Before clinching his first two major titles, McIlroy had his ideal mansion built in 2006 in his hometown of Holywood, Northern Ireland.
The property, which sat on 14 acres of land, featured a gym, tennis court, driving range and, importantly, a practice area at the back of his garden.
But due to spending such a large amount of time away on the PGA Tour, McIlroy listed the property for sale in 2012. It was purchased by former TV presenter Gary McCausland the following year for less than the ยฃ2million asking price.
The recent Masters champion upgraded in 2017 by moving into a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, worth triple the value of his previous home on the Northern Irish coast. The luxury pad, previously owned by Ernie Els, is located within the exclusive Bear’s Club golf community.
