Rory McIlroy Celebrates Masters Win With Family Trip, Wife Absent

Rory McIlroy celebrated his long-awaited Masters victory by traveling with his wife, Erica Stoll, and their daughter, Poppy, first to London to visit their new home under construction and then to Belfast to reunite with extended family and close friends. The triumph marked the completion of McIlroy's career grand slam, a goal he described as a lifelong dream. Despite Stoll's attendance at the Masters and public displays of unity, her absence during the Belfast trip sparked speculation about the couple's relationship, especially given recent divorce proceedings and reconciliation. McIlroy publicly acknowledged the support of his family and inner circle in post-tournament interviews, emphasizing the importance of his daughter and caddie but initially omitting mention of Stoll, which drew some attention. Both McIlroy and Stoll have since stated they resolved their differences and are committed to moving forward as a family. The couple's relationship continues to be the subject of media scrutiny as they navigate public appearances following their reunion.
