Pro golfer Rory McIlroy is calling it quits on his 7-year marriage, filing for divorce from wife Erica Stoll in Florida, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The soon-to-be exes share one child together, Poppy, whom they welcomed in 2020.
McIlroy and Stoll tied the knot in April 2017 at Ashford Castle in Ireland years after they first crossed paths at the 2012 Ryder Cup.
The PGA tour star has requested shared custody of the couple's three-year-old daughter Poppy.
McIlroy submitted the court docs on Monday, days before he is set to compete in the PGA Championship in Kentucky over the weekend. TMZ was first to report the news.
Leading up to the big event, McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler have already proven to be the "big favorites" as the PGA Championship bets come in. Scheffler is the favorite to win his third major at +450, while McIlroy trails right behind him at +750, according to reports.
Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll signed a prenuptial agreement.
McIlory previously detailed how he met Stoll during an interview on the Golf Channel, revealing it was a fond memory for him.
"Erica that week was always the one that was checking us in and out," he shared. "She was there at transportation, so she was always in the car park over there. But yeah, it's still cool to look around and think about that week, and obviously everything that's happened since then."
McIlroy and Stoll were married in August 2017 at Ashford Castle in Ireland.
McIlroy and Stoll were platonic at first. The Northern Irish athlete had been dating tennis player Caroline Wozniacki when they met and the then-couple got engaged in 2013, parting ways soon after.
Stoll and McIlroy officially started dating in late 2014, but the two kept their budding romance under wraps until they were ready to go public.
McIlroy filed for divorce on Monday in Palm Beach County, Florida.
