So, I was scrolling through some stuff the other day, and the name Erica Stoll popped up again. You know, Rory McIlroy’s wife. It got me thinking about their whole situation.

First thing that came to mind was all that recent drama. Bam! News hits – divorce filed. Think it was around mid-May, like May 13th or something. People confirmed it, saw pictures later, no rings on either of them. Seemed pretty final, right?
Then, not even a month later, maybe early June? Plot twist! They called it off. Decided to stay together. Crazy rollercoaster. Makes you wonder what goes on behind closed doors.
Digging into the story
It made me actually look into how they even got together in the first place. I kinda remembered bits, but wanted to get it straight in my head.
Turns out, she worked for the PGA. Yeah, the golf organization. Her job had something to do with transport official duties back then. That’s the connection. That’s exactly how she crossed paths with McIlroy. It wasn’t some random celebrity meetup; it was through her actual job in the golf world.
- Worked for PGA.
- Handled transport stuff.
- Met McIlroy through that job.
Before all the golfer wife stuff, she was just doing her thing. She actually went to college, got a degree. I think it was in marketing, finished around 2008. So, she had her own career going with the PGA before meeting him and all the fame that came with it.
It’s just interesting, you know? Seeing someone who had a regular, professional job suddenly be in the spotlight because of who they married, then go through that very public up and down with the divorce thing and then pulling back from it. Life’s weird like that.
