Kentucky Wildcats star player files for divorce after his ….
According to Palm Beach County, Florida, court documents, Rory McIlroy filed for divorce after seven years of marriage. This is a startling event leading up to the PGA Championship.
After a remarkable encounter at the Ryder Cup in 2012, McIlroy and Erica Stoll started dating two years later and were wed in 2017. Poppy, their lone child, was born in September 2020.
The file was submitted on Monday, and TMZ broke the story initially.
A prenuptial agreement that was signed around one month prior to the couple’s April 21, 2017, wedding was requested to be validated and enforced in the divorce petition, which described the marriage as irretrievably broken. Sealed was the prenuptial agreement.
McIlroy’s attorney was listed as Thomas Sasser, the same attorney who represented Tiger Woods when his wife divorced him in 2010.
“Rory McIlroy’s communications team confirmed today that a divorce has been filed. They stressed Rory’s desire to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible,” said a statement from his manager, Sean O’Flaherty.
He said there would be no further comment.
McIlroy arrived at Valhalla on Tuesday. He has gone 10 years since winning a major, the last one at Valhalla in 2014 for the PGA Championship. His pre-tournament news conference was scheduled for Wednesday.
