Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll are facing a high-stakes divorce involving a property empire worth millions. The pro-golfer, 35, and Stoll, 36, filed for divorce just days before the PGA Championship, citing an “irretrievably broken” relationship after seven years of marriage. They share a three-year-old daughter, Poppy Kennedy, and are reportedly worth over $200 million.
McIlroy’s extensive property holdings include a primary residence in Jupiter, Florida, purchased from golf legend Ernie Els for $11 million in 2012. The home, now valued at double, features nine bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a luxury infinity pool, a tennis court, a home theater, a recording studio, and a state-of-the-art gym on a 2.4-acre estate.
In addition to his Jupiter home, McIlroy owns a mansion in La Quinta, California, within the exclusive Madison Club. Bought for $12.3 million in 2019, this property boasts six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and stunning views of the Santa Rosa mountains.
McIlroy also maintains a 19th-century mansion on a 200-acre property in Holywood, Ireland, complete with a private golf course, lake, and tennis court. His real estate portfolio extends to apartments in New York City’s Upper East Side and Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.
Stoll and Poppy are believed to still reside in the Jupiter estate while McIlroy competes in the PGA Championship. The couple’s divorce proceedings include a prenuptial agreement, though specific details remain undisclosed. McIlroy’s attorney, Thomas Sasser, previously represented Tiger Woods in his 2010 divorce.
Their divorce filing in Palm Beach County mentions the need for a shared custody arrangement for their daughter. The couple’s relationship began with a storybook meeting at the 2012 Ryder Cup and culminated in their 2017 wedding.
Despite his personal turmoil, McIlroy remains focused on his golf career, preparing for the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. With career earnings nearing $87 million, McIlroy continues to chase additional major tournament victories, aiming to add to his four titles.
