Rory McIlroy’s wife Erica Stoll to finally get her wish in June decision
Rory McIlroy has revealed he and his wife, Erica Stoll, will relocate to a new family home in Surrey next month. The Northern Irishman is gearing up for the upcoming US PGA Championship, just a month after he completed the Career Grand Slam with victory at the Masters. GettyRory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll have plenty to look forward to in 2025[/caption] McIlroy finally ended a more than decade-long wait to win all four of golf’s majors when he got his hands on a prestigious Green Jacket at Augusta National in April. But it isn’t just on the golf course where the 36-year-old has had reason to celebrate, with another milestone soon to come in his personal life. McIlroy has revealed the mansion he and wife Erica Stoll have been building in Wentworth, Surrey is now ready for them to move into. And it won’t be long until the couple, along with their daughter Poppy, 4, officially make the newly-built property their home. The golf star has told the Telegraph that he and his family will move in after the US Open in five weeks’ time, which ends on June 15. Despite this, the McIlroys will retain their property in South Florida, which they purchased from fellow golfer Ernie Els in 2017, which will remain their base when he is playing on the PGA Tour. Speaking to Telegraph Sport, McIlroy revealed he and Stoll had visited their new Surrey home immediately after his Masters triumph. He said: “Straight after Augusta we travelled over to see the house as it was going through the finishing touches. “It was fun to see and we could have stayed in it, but we wanted to get over to Holywood [his home town in Belfast].” The news of their upcoming plans is the latest development in the pair’s relationship, who reconciled in 2024 after McIlroy had previously filed for divorce from Stoll earlier in the year.

On the Netflix show Full Swing, McIlroy revealed his wife is not a fan of the heat in their permanent home in Florida. In a conversation captured between him and German golfer Martin Kaymer in the series, the Masters champion explained: “If it was up to her, she wouldn’t move to England straight away, but she definitely wants to spend more time there.” In the most recent series of the Netflix documentary ‘Full Swing’, it became clear that Stoll has never been totally enamoured with the States. During a conversation between McIlroy fellow golfer Martin Kaymer, the German revealed: “I saw her [Stoll] at a Starbucks once, and she said, ‘I really don’t like the sun.’ I said, ‘Your state’s called the Sunshine State, right?'” The Northern Irishman then admitted: “If it was up to her, she wouldn’t move to England straightaway, but she definitely wants to spend more time there.” GettyRory McIlroy has previously won the US PGA in 2012 and 2014[/caption] Before the couple make this plan a reality, McIlroy must first turn his attention to his packed golf schedule. The world number two is bidding to land his third US PGA title at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. McIlroy is something of a specialist at the venue, which is typically the host of a PGA Tour event, the Truist Championship, previously known as the Wells Fargo, which he has won four times, including last year. The competition is the final event before the US PGA gets underway, and is being held at the changed location of the Philadelphia Cricket Ground, where McIlroy begins his title defence today. And with the second major of the year kicking off next Thursday, he admitted he was looking forward to an event without the mental baggage he had carried prior to his Masters crown. Before his recent triumph, McIlroy had gone nearly 11 years without a major, having last tasted glory at the 2014 Open Championship. Previewing the US PGA, he told the Telegraph: “I’m obviously going to feel more comfortable and a lot less pressure, and I’m also going back to a venue that I love. “It’s nothing but positive vibes going in there with what happened a few weeks ago and then with my history there. “I won’t be on edge as I have been for the last few years when I’ve been at a major. I’ll probably be a little bit better to be around for my family – I’ll be a little more relaxed.”
