Rory McIlroy has been spotted for the first time since he reportedly filed for divorce from his wife, as he practiced for the PGA Championship on Tuesday afternoon.

The Northern Irishman was seen teeing off at the Louisville course following the news that he and his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll, had split according to TMZ.

McIlroy and Stoll were married seven years ago.


The 2024 PGA Championship will start on Thursday, with McIlroy teeing off at 1:15pm local time.

He will play alongside Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose.

The couple shares a three-year-old daughter Poppy who was born in 2020.

McIlroy first met Erica during the 2012 Ryder Cup, which she was working for the PGA.

However, it wasn't until a few years later that the pair would enter a relationship.

McIlroy was previously engaged to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki before they split in 2014.

The four-time major champion and Stoll kept their relationship largely private before they married in in Ireland in 2017.
