RORY MCLLROY FILES TO DISMISS DIVORCE CASE

Rory McIlroy has seemingly decided against going through with his divorce, as his attorney filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on Tuesday, leading to the case being officially closed. The reasons for McIlroy’s apparent change of heart are not yet clear, and attempts to reach his lawyer, Thomas Sasser, for comment have so far been unsuccessful.

The 35-year-old professional golfer had initially opened the divorce case in Florida on May 13, signaling his intention to end his seven-year marriage with his wife, Erica Stoll. At the time, McIlroy’s manager, Sean O’Flaherty, issued a statement indicating that McIlroy was determined to handle “this difficult time” in a manner that was “respectful and amicable.” No additional details were provided regarding the split.

Just a few days later, during the PGA Championship, McIlroy refrained from commenting on his personal situation, even when questioned about his well-being. He went on to finish tied for 12th place in the tournament.

Rory and Erica first crossed paths at the Ryder Cup in 2012 and began dating a couple of years later. They were married in 2017 and have since had a child together. Despite McIlroy’s high profile, the couple has generally maintained a low profile regarding their personal life and relationship.
