Rory McIlroy breaks silence on canceled divorce and makes ‘overwhelmed’ admission

Rory McIlroy says “Everything has worked out for the best,” and he “can’t wait for what lies ahead” after opening up about his aborted divorce for the first time on the new season of Full Swing.

The four-time major champion announced in May 2024 that he and his wife, Erica Stoll, were seeking a divorce after seven years of marriage, with court papers describing their relationship as “irretrievably broken.” The bombshell dropped just days before the PGA Championship at Valhalla and dominated the build-up to the tournament.

Yet a month later, McIlroy announced he and Stoll – the mother to his only 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, a four-year-old girl named Poppy – had reconciled and the divorce was called off. Other than a brief statement confirming the news, McIlroy had not spoken publicly about the situation until the third series of Netflix’s ‘Full Swing’ released on Tuesday.

“There’s parts of my life I like to keep as private as possible,” McIlroy admitted when interviewed for the documentary series. “Unfortunately, in this line of work, that isn’t always possible. I have always been protective of my loved ones from people who have ill intentions.

“I think it was a wake-up call for me to say, ‘Let’s just focus on golf for a little bit.’ I have been on tour for 17, 18 years. I like when the attention is on my golf. Sometimes that is impossible.”

McIlroy added: “Thankfully, everything has worked out for the best and we’re happy and moving forward and can’t wait for what lies ahead.”

McIlroy and Stoll met at the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah, where she was working for the PGA of America. McIlroy was dating tennis star Caroline Wozniacki at the time, but after ending their relationship in 2014, he struck up a romance with Stoll the following year and they got engaged in late 2015.

McIlroy and Stoll were married at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017, with Stevie Wonder and Ed Sheeran among the performers who entertained guests at the lavish ceremony.

McIlroy’s turbulent 2024 season features prominently in the new series of ‘Full Swing,’ covering the highs of his wins at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the Wells Fargo Championship to the crushing low at the U.S. Open that prolonged his decade-long wait for his fifth major championship victory.

The documentary series also addresses McIlroy’s ups and downs away from the sport, and he opened up about the difficulty of juggling his responsibilities in his private life with his pursuit of excellence on the course.

“Sometimes I’ve struggled with the balance of trying to be the best golfer, trying to be the best husband or the best dad. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and it can be a little too much for me,” McIlroy said.

ATSUSHIが一酸化炭素中毒で休業、自ら命を絶つ最期を選んだと噂される理由に一同驚愕…【EXILE 芸能】

人気グループEXILEのボーカル、ATSUSHIさんが体調不良を理由に活動休止を発表しました。所属事務所の発表によると、ATSUSHIさんは3月中旬に体調に不調を感じ、その後の検査で一酸化炭素中毒の疑いがあることが判明したとのことです。この知らせを受け、ファンや関係者の間では自殺未遂の噂も浮上していますが、真相は異なるようです。   ATSUSHIさんは2001年にEXILEのメンバーとしてデビュー以来、多くの名曲を世に送り出し、ソロ活動にも力を入れてきました。しかし、今年4月の活動休止発表により、予定されていた公演は延期または中止となりました。事務所は、体調不良の原因が一酸化炭素である可能性があると説明しています。   一酸化炭素は無色無臭で非常に危険な物質であり、吸い込むことで急激に症状が現れることがあります。特に屋内での事故が多く、過去5年間で40人以上が救急搬送されています。ATSUSHIさんの体調不良は、仕事関係者との会食後に発生した疑いがあり、その際の換気不足が影響した可能性が高いと考えられています。   医師によると、一酸化炭素中毒の症状は数日から数週間後に現れることがあり、これを揮発性脳症と呼びます。ATSUSHIさんも現在、治療に専念しており、徐々に回復に向かっているとのことです。事務所は、ライブパフォーマンスができるまでには至っていないが、治療の必要があると判断したとしています。   ファンは彼の復帰を待ち望んでいますが、まずは健康を最優先にしてほしいと願っています。ATSUSHIさんの美しい歌声が再び響く日を心待ちにしています。
