Erica Stoll has missed the deadline to respond to Rory McIlroy’s divorce petition, putting her at risk of a default judgment in favor of the golfer, DailyMail.com exclusively reveals.
Erica, 36, was served the divorce papers at her Florida home on May 13 and given a 20-day window to respond. She missed the deadline on Sunday and has not filed any response since, as confirmed by the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office.
This could result in a default divorce, meaning the court could proceed without her input, preventing her from contesting McIlroy’s petition, which describes their seven-year marriage as “irretrievably broken.”
Rory McIlroy’s estranged wife Erica Stoll missed the deadline to respond to his divorce petition, confirmed by the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office.
Despite his personal issues, McIlroy has maintained his performance on the PGA Tour, as seen at the Canadian Open on June 2, following the announcement of his split from Erica last month.
McIlroy was in Kentucky for the PGA Championship when the summons was delivered to Erica at their Jupiter mansion. His petition seeks shared custody of their daughter and enforcement of their prenuptial agreement signed before their 2017 wedding. The papers, served by Carl Woods, a Palm Beach cop and process server, warned Erica to file a written response within 20 days or risk losing the case, which could result in the court taking her wages, money, and property without further notice.
The documents advised Erica to consider hiring an attorney, but she currently has none assigned to her case.
McIlroy was seen hugging CBS journalist Amanda Balionis after their TV interview, fueling rumors despite her marriage to football coach Bryn Renner. Balionis has been seen without her wedding ring recently, adding to the speculation.
McIlroy competed at the RBC Canadian Open in Hamilton, Ontario, finishing tied for fourth. Afterward, he was seen hugging CBS Sports reporter Amanda Balionis, 38, following an interview about his performance.
Balionis, married to football coach Bryn Renner, has recently been seen without her wedding ring, sparking rumors about her relationship with McIlroy. They were also seen together on May 12 at the Wells Fargo Championship, which McIlroy won by five shots. Court records show McIlroy signed his divorce petition three days earlier. Both have denied dating rumors.
McIlroy’s manager, Sean O’Flaherty, confirmed the divorce filing, stating, “Rory McIlroy’s communications team confirmed today that a divorce has been filed. They stressed Rory’s desire to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible. He will not be making any further comment.”
McIlroy, who has earned nearly $87 million on the PGA Tour, met New York native Erica during the 2012 Ryder Cup while she was working for the PGA of America. She helped him make his tee time at Medinah in Illinois after he missed his alarm. They began dating months after McIlroy called off his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014.
A source close to the tour claims McIlroy is “super focused on golf” as he seeks another major win after a decade. “He put his blood, sweat, and tears into defending the PGA against LIV golf the last two years, and it was basically for nothing,” the source told People. “He’s just trying to find himself, focus, and get back to winning.”
The couple’s divorce filing calls for shared custody and a parenting plan for their four-year-old daughter, Poppy.
