Former World Number One Seeks End to Marital Relationship

Golf Star's Marriage Dissolved After High-Profile Wedding in 2017

In a shocking turn of events, golf star Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll, after seven years of marriage. The news, which was first reported by the Daily Mail, comes as a surprise to many, as the couple has always maintained a public image of happiness and stability. The couple was married in a lavish ceremony at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017 and have since welcomed two children together.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, McIlroy filed for divorce in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Tuesday, August 30. The filing cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. Neither McIlroy nor Stoll has yet to publicly comment on the divorce filing.

The divorce filing is the latest in a series of high-profile splits for celebrities in recent months. Earlier this year, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West announced their divorce after seven years of marriage, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's divorce was finally finalized in 2019 after two years of legal proceedings. It remains to be seen how the McIlroy divorce will play out, but it is sure to be a major story in the golf world for the foreseeable future.
