One of the best players to ever grace the golf course, Rory McIlroy has always been one of the game’s brightest stars with the exquisite skills and techniques he boasts on the greens. The golfer has under his belt a whopping 37 professional wins and 24 PGA Tour victories, including four majors and six FedEx Cup playoff events, since turning pro in 2007. And, as the case is with every athlete, his support system in this case, who has provided an unfazed and unwavering amount of help to the golfer in his life, is none other than his wife.

McIlroy has always preferred to keep news regarding his personal life silent. However, it is only possible up to a certain extent, as not everything escapes the public eye! Let us take a look at the special person who is to get credit for the success that the Northern Irishman has achieved in his life!

Meet Erica Stoll, the PGA Tour star’s beautiful wife 

The 4X major winner is no longer a single golfer on the Tour, as he’s been married since 2017. However, the 31-year-old did have a history of dating other women before he tied the knot with Erica Stoll.

Stoll was born in Irondequoit, New York, and went to West Irondequoit High School, after which she attended the Rochester Institute of Technology. She is passionate about sailing and baking. Moreover, the golfer’s wife also made special cookies for the Ryder Cup when she was working with the PGA before getting married to her soulmate.

Furthermore, the story of McIlroy’s first meeting with his future partner is nothing short of thrilling. The acclaimed golfer overslept and missed his tee time during the 2012 Ryder Cup. The professional then came under fire for his negligence, and it was Stoll who got in touch with him as she was a PGA employee at the time.

The future soulmate came to the rescue and made the necessary arrangements for the golfer to be picked up by the police, who then took him to the course. This was the first moment that the duo had gotten in touch with each other. A fated encounter of sorts, isn’t it?

When did Rory McIlroy tie the knot with Erica Stoll? 

McIlroy and Stoll got along well soon after their first meeting in 2012. While there isn’t concrete information as to when they began dating, the pair grabbed the limelight when they got engaged in 2015.

Things went well, and just a couple of years later, the PGA Tour pro married his fiance at the grounds of Ashworth Castle, a luxury hotel in Ireland. It was a grand ceremony that included a star-studded guest list and performances from Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder as well! 

The pair tied the knot on April 22, 2017, and welcomed their first child, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, on August 31, 2020. The happy trio currently resides in Jupiter Island, Florida.

The merry family of three has been spotted a lot of times together on the golf course. One such instance that would remain special in the lives of the three would be the instance when the mother and daughter duo caddied for their professional golfer dad in the par-3 contest ahead of the 2022 Masters Tournament.

Nevertheless, the main aspect of their relationship is that it has always been low-key. The 2014 PGA Championship winner once addressed this fact during an interview with The Independent: “Erica has been around me quite a lot at tournaments, but we have really just tried to keep it low-key—not the kind to broadcast stuff,” said McIlroy, all the while expressing his excitement for his life with his beloved wife and daughter.

The loving companion has had an immense role in the golfer’s life. Moreover, Stoll does not want to hog too much of the limelight. Although she can be seen supporting her husband at tournaments, the former PGA employee wants none of the camera attention!
