HOTย Rory McIlroy shocks fans by speaking out about his divorce from wife Erica Stoll, I have one main reason for canceling my divorceย Rory McIlroy has been chasing history at Augusta National this week, but just months ago, the biggest question in his life wasnโt about a green jacket. It was about whetherโฆ
It was about whether his marriage would survive. The four-time major champion and his wife, Erica Stoll, nearly ended their eight-year marriage in 2024, sparking a wave of speculation and tabloid buzz. But in a twist just as dramatic as any back-nine charge, McIlroy called off the divorce and chose to fight for his family instead.
Now, as he leads the Masters field at 12-under heading into Sundayโs final round, McIlroy finds himself not only battling for a career grand slam but doing so with the support of the woman he nearly walked away from. Itโs a comeback thatโs played out both on and off the course.
Back in the summer of 2024, McIlroy filed for divorce in Florida, marking what seemed to be the end of a marriage that began in 2017. The news caught many off guard. McIlroy and Stoll, who met through the golf world and share a daughter, Poppy, had long kept their personal life private. But as rumors swirled, McIlroy stayed silent- until he wasnโt.
In a rare and candid moment, McIlroy addressed the speculation head-on. โThere have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate,โ he said in a statement. โResponding to each rumor is a foolโs game. Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together.โ
That clarity didnโt come overnight. According to court records, McIlroyโs legal team filed a motion to dismiss the divorce petition by June voluntarily. What followed was a reconciliation that, by his own words, brought resolution and a fresh start. โThankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning,โ he said.
The timing couldnโt be more symbolic. As he prepares for the most important career round, Rory McIlroy does so grounded in something far more meaningful than a trophy. Winning a Masters would be historic. But keeping his family together may have already been the biggest win of all.
And if Sunday ends with a green jacket and a walk off the 18th green into Ericaโs arms, it wonโt just be another golf story. Itโll be a full-circle moment- personal, professional, and powerful.
