Breaking News:Rory McIlroy files for DIVORCE from wife Erica Stoll after seven years of marriage – just three days before the 2024 PGA Championship

PGA Tour star and four-time majors winner Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife Erica Stoll.

The 35-year-old is said to have filed the documents on Monday, just three days before the start of the PGA Championship, the second major of the year, and fresh off his latest victory at the Wells Fargo Championship last weekend.

McIlroy’s communications team confirmed on Tuesday that a divorce has been filed. They stressed Rory’s desire to ensure the process is ‘as respectful and amicable as possible’.

Court documents filed in Palm Beach County obtained by DailyMail.com stated their marriage was ‘irretrievably broken’.

The couple, who share a three-year-old daughter Poppy Kennedy born in 2020, tied the knot in 2017 after a storybook meeting at the 2012 Ryder Cup.

The Northern Irishman, whose career earnings total nearly £69million ($87million), first met 35-year-old New York state native Erica during the tournament in Illinois, at which she was working for the PGA.

He has previously credited the American with helping him make his tee time at Medinah – thanks to a police escort – after he missed his alarm.

He went on to win his match over Keegan Bradley as part of what was later hailed as the ‘miracle at Medinah’.

Despite initially meeting at the Ryder Cup that year, it wasn’t until a few years later that the pair would enter a relationship.

A few months after calling off his engagement with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014, McIlroy and Stoll got together before getting engaged a year later.

The four-time major champion and Stoll kept their relationship largely private before they married in a lavish ceremony in Ireland in 2017.

The couple exchanged their vows at Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland, in front of celebrity guests, including One Direction star Niall Horan and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, while music icons Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder performed at the event.

The petition for divorce states that the pair had signed a prenuptial agreement. However, the details of the arrangement have not been divulged.

McIlroy’s attorney was listed as Thomas Sasser, the same attorney who represented Tiger Woods when his wife divorced him in 2010.

The filing also calls for shared custody and a parenting plan to be established for Poppy.

McIlroy is due to speak to the media on Wednesday afternoon at Valhalla, where he was seen practicing today. His team has issued a statement on his behalf.
