Rory McIlroy's marriage to Erica Stoll was already fodder for gossip in the golf world before his shocking divorce filing and subsequent dismissal. "That there were rumors about McIlroy's love life wasn't totally surprising given his ribald streak," author Alan Shipnuck writes in his new book, Rory: The Heartache and Triumph of Golf's Most Human Superstar, per an excerpt published by the Daily Mail on Monday, April 6. McIlroy, 36, filed for divorce from Stoll, 38, in May 2024 after seven years of marriage, but withdrew the divorce petition just weeks later.
