Rory McIlroy is officially a dad.
The former world No. 1 took to social media to announce the birth of the first child for he and his wife, Erica. Their daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, was born at 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 31.
"She is the absolute love of our lives," McIlroy wrote. "Mother and baby are doing great. Massive thank you to all the staff at Jupiter Medical Center and Dr. Sasha Melendy for their amazing care."
McIlroy nearly kept the entire pregnancy away from the public eye, only disclosing last week at the BMW Championship that the couple was pregnant and expecting to give birth in a matter of days.
