Report: Rory McIlroy getting married soon?
Update: Dec. 3: Per the Irish Independent: McIlroy popped the question over the weekend in Paris (she said yes).
Rory McIlroy dated tennis star Caroline Wozniacki from 2011 through May of 2014, when the golfer called off the pair’s engagement saying he “wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails.”
In contrast to the very public Wozilroy relationship and breakup, McIlroy has taken a different, decidedly more private tack with his current girlfriend.
The Ulsterman’s new flame, Erica Stoll, manager of Championship Volunteer Operations at the PGA of America, has been linked to the golfer since April of last year.
The pair combined for one of the great golf relationship footnotes of all time: Stoll was the PGA official who realized McIlroy wasn’t on site at the 2012 Ryder Cup and arranged a convoy to get him to Medinah on time.
McIlroy and Stoll haven’t paraded before the paparazzi in the year-plus of their courtship, but the pair were spotted at the Irish Open in May, and McIlroy commented on the relationship shortly thereafter in The Times of London.
“I am very happy in my love life. We haven’t really been putting it out there. She is from America, which is why I like to spend time in Palm Beach.”
It’s notable then, that Stoll appeared with McIlroy at the trophy presentation at the DP World Tour Championship, and those who whisper about such things are suggesting that the appearance and photo op mark a new era in Mr. McIlroy’s love life.
A Nov. 29 report in the Irish Independent has multiple sources saying Rory could be headed for the altar soon. Of course, this is the same publication that erroneously reported McIlroy/Wozniacki’s breakup in August of 2013, so take the reports with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, speaking with the aforementioned multiple sources, the Independent’s Niamh Horan indicated that Rory has found “the one,” and that marriage seems imminent.
Friends say that Rory feels very confident that the blonde beauty is the woman for him. “Don’t be surprised if you hear he pops the question, it’s going very, very well,” a friend said. A separate source also revealed how Erica had met Rory’s friends in Florida and Ireland recently and said that his circle have warmed to her and delight in the effect she has on the golfer.
“She’s a really, really nice girl,” said the well-placed source. “Very nice and down to earth and the one thing everyone is saying is how good she is for Rory. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do tie the knot. You know the saying ‘when you know – you know’ [you’ve met the right person] and I think Rory is there now.
Again, the contrast between the McIlroy-Wozniacki relationship and the McIlroy-Stoll relationship is interesting, but ultimately nobody’s business but theirs. What is important for golf fans, however, after all the talk of a Wozniacki-induced slump in 2013, is that he’s played much better as a component of Stolilroy, as it were.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

The correct word in the second sentence is “tack,” referring to a course of action different from a preceding one, not “tact,” referring to delicacy in personal relations.

He’s making a smart decision to go with a girl that isnt famous or a professional athlete. The whole point is to share your life with someone and if she was as busy as him traveling they would never be together and he would never have someone to share all his success and victories with. That is the point/objective. Lets face it, he’s made enough money already for his wife to do nothing but share their lives together.
Way to go Rory, find a “real” person to spend your life with………!!!

Wonders never cease. You can be short, walk around with your mouth open all the time, and still score a great looking girl.
IF, you have a ton of money. I hope he signs a prenup.
