Rory McIlroy runs high on and off the field.
PGA Tour star won his second championship in career player on Monday morning and switched JJ Spaun into a three-hole playoffs after being tied to 12-under after a rainfall Sunday final.
If the price of $ 4.5 million wasn’t enough to be fond of, McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll, and their 4-year-old daughter, Poppy, became stained to celebrate Nordirishman’s latest victory on the field.

Last June, McIlroy and Stoll interrupted their divorce in June 2024, which was originally archived in May, making sweeping headlines ahead of the PGA championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
However, the couple seems to be going strong as they shared a festive kiss at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, after the victory for McIlroy.
In November 2024, McIlroy was very emotional after winning DP World Tours ran to the Dubai tournament for the third year in a row. Stoll and their daughter were also present for it, and it struck him clearly after undergoing a swelling season that included professional and personal turbulence.

“I’ve been through a lot this year – personally, professionally,” he said via Pakinomist after his victory. “It feels like the appropriate end to 2024. See I have been holding this year a lot, had close calls, was unable to get it done, so to be able to get over the line – I got off to a good start, and then I didn’t have the best around the middle of the round.”
When asked that his family was present for the victory, McIlroy replied: “Their support means the world to me.”

“Being able to show Poppy what happened today, and maybe some of the reasons I’m not in all the time because I work or train … It’s incredible that they were here with me this week and I’m happy to celebrate with them.”
McIlroy told The Guardian in June 2024 that the differences between himself and Stoll were reconciled and said, “Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Fortunately, we have solved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
When news broke about McIlroy archiving for divorce, a report appeared in US Weekly, who said Stoll was “lonely” in their marriage, and the four-time great champion was “a tough person to get married” because of his play career.
But marriage was not completely “irreparably broken” as the divorce said last May, and McIlroy and Stoll celebrated once again with their daughter after a huge victory on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy ended his three holes on Monday morning 1-over couple, but it was enough to beat Spaun, who was 3-over to finish in second place.

McIlroy, who also won AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the past month, has his eyes on Masters next month at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, hoping to get his major-less stripe with his last won in 2014.
