Professional golfer Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife Erica Stoll after seven years of marriage. The couple met at the 2012 Ryder Cup and married in 2017. They have one daughter, Poppy, who was born in 2020.

McIlroy's communications team confirmed the divorce filing on Monday, saying that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." Stoll has not yet commented on the filing.

McIlroy is one of the most successful golfers in the world, having won four major championships. He is currently ranked No. 1 in the world.

Stoll is a former PGA of America employee. She has been a vocal supporter of McIlroy throughout his career.

The divorce filing comes as a surprise to many, as McIlroy and Stoll have always appeared to be a happy couple. However, there have been rumors of trouble in their marriage for several months.

The divorce proceedings are expected to be contentious, as the couple has a significant amount of assets to divide.
