After a wild year with a near divorce, golf star Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll seem to be starting a new saga in life and location. They just moved into a big, new house in Wentworth, Surrey, a green spot near London, making true Stoll’s wish to leave Florida for a cooler, calmer place.
The Daily Mail says McIlroy bought this house in 2023 and spent a year fixing it up. This move came soon after the pair stunned fans by stopping their divorce, which they had said was happening in 2024. McIlroy later shared they saw their “best future was as a family together.”
A new start in Wentworth for the McIlroy family
Their new place is in the fancy Wentworth Estate, close to the famous Wentworth Golf Club and home to housed royals and billionaires, like Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
Stoll, from upstate New York, was tired of Florida’s big heat and pushed for the move to England. McIlroy, living in Jupiter, Florida, for years, said yes to the shift after the U.S. Open in June.
We came back a few weeks ago and moved into our new home in Wentworth. It’s amazing what two weeks of a bit of detachment can do for you… it’s been nice to reflect and rekindle my excitement for the rest of the year.
From divorce to re-love
Their choice to stop the divorce stunned many in golf. Some think McIlroys mind change was due to both heart and financial reasons, including the huge cost of splitting his big fortune.
Since getting back together, McIlroy and Stoll look more joined, and the move to Surrey is like a new beginning. They have a daughter, Poppy, and want to keep family life steady and separated from the media despite McIlroys busy tour life.
McIlroy is getting ready for both the Scottish Open and the Open Championship at Portrush, hoping to add another big win to the one he got at the Masters this year. He always states that the moving and the quiet and calm time he has spent at his new house with his wife, have cleared his mind like never in his life.
It’s been a good couple of weeks to just be with my thoughts and get ready for what’s ahead
With a new house, a fixed marriage, and a big win earlier in the year, McIlroy is set for a strong end to the 2025 season.
