Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll set date as major family decision confirmed

Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica are set to move into their luxury new home at Wentworth Estate in England next month.

The couple, along with their four-year-old daughter Poppy, will take up residence on Monday, 16 June, just after the U.S. Open concludes at Oakmont.

According to Telegraph Sport, the Northern Irish golf star's new mansion, which the family has been building for some time, is now nearing completion.

The move comes just weeks after McIlroy's historic Masters victory last month, which completed his career grand slam.

McIlroy revealed that the family visited their new Wentworth home immediately after his Masters triumph.

"Straight after Augusta we travelled over to see the house as it was going through the finishing touches," McIlroy told Telegraph Sport.

"It was fun to see and we could have stayed in it, but we wanted to get over to Holywood [his home town in Belfast]."

The golfer opted to keep out of the spotlight following his historic win at Augusta National, choosing instead to visit the home of the BMW PGA Championship.

A few days later, he returned to Northern Ireland to see his parents.

McIlroy currently resides in a luxury mansion in South Florida with Erica and Poppy.

He purchased the property from four-time major champion Ernie Els in 2017, the same year he married Erica.

Els, 55, previously owned a property with his family on the Wentworth Estate.

The golf legend has been able to provide McIlroy with valuable advice regarding the move.

While the McIlroys will likely retain their Florida property, they could soon make Wentworth their permanent home.

The couple's move comes after a turbulent period in their relationship.

This time last year, Rory and Erica were reportedly going through divorce proceedings.

However, they worked through their difficulties and called off the separation.When McIlroy won his sixth Race to Dubai at the end of 2024, he paid tribute to the support of both Erica and Poppy.

Earlier this week, McIlroy stated he will be "much better to be around" for both Erica and Poppy following his Masters victory and career grand slam completion.

McIlroy currently finds himself five shots off the pace in his title defence at the Truist Championship.

After shooting a second-round 67, he described his game as feeling "scrappy" but is determined to improve before next week's PGA Championship.

The 36-year-old also noted he is in a better headspace since stepping away from the PGA Tour board of directors.

He admitted he has "no idea what's going on" regarding the future of the PGA Tour, adding that he doesn't particularly care at present.
