Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife, Erica Stoll, after seven years of marriage, his communications team confirmed on Tuesday.
According to Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press, McIlroy filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Palm Beach County, Florida.
"The petition for divorce described the marriage as irretrievably broken and asked that a prenuptial agreement signed about a month before their April 21, 2017, wedding be validated and enforced," Ferguson wrote. "The prenuptial agreement was sealed."
McIlroy and Stoll met in 2012 at the Ryder Cup.
Stoll, who was working as the PGA's manager of championship volunteer operations, arranged for McIlroy to receive a police escort to Medinah Country Club after the golfer didn't realize he was in the Central Time Zone and nearly missed his tee time against Keegan Bradley in match play.
