Stoll and Rory McIlroy had their ups and downs in their relationship. The couple, who got married in 2017, had a brief split in 2024 with McIlroy filing for divorce, but soon, the two reconciled their relationship. So let us take a glance at the relationship between Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll.

McIlory and Stoll met each other by chance when she was a PGA employee at the 2012 Ryder Cup in Medinah, where she reportedly saved him from missing his tee time. The duo began their relationship as just friends (according to US Weekly, he was dating tennis player Caroline Wozniacki at the time) and officially started dating each other by the end of 2014.

According to multiple reports, McIlroy popped the big question to Stoll after about three years of dating in December 2015, that too in Paris.

Three years after their marriage, Erica Stoll gave birth to the couple's first baby, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, on August 31, 2020. In May 2024, McIlroy filed for divorce from Stoll. But, about a month later, the golfer asked for the dismissal of the divorce documents. Though not much is known about what happened, the trailer for Full Swing Season 3, a Netflix documentary on Pro-Golfers, might reportedly cover the issue
