Rory McIlroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, have made a major announcement about their future, confirming they are set to relocate to the UK full-time after the 2025 U.S. Open. The couple will be moving into their newly built dream home in the exclusive Wentworth Estate near London — a significant shift from their current base in Jupiter, Florida.
The move comes just months after the couple reconciled following a brief separation. In May 2024, McIlroy had filed for divorce, citing irretrievable differences. But within weeks, the two called off the divorce and began rebuilding their marriage. Their decision to move across the Atlantic now signals a new chapter in their relationship, one focused on family, privacy, and a slower pace of life.
According to reports from The Telegraph, Erica had long wished to spend more time in the UK, especially given her preference for England’s cooler, calmer climate compared to Florida’s heat. The couple’s four-year-old daughter, Poppy, will also join them in the move, making this a full family transition.
Wentworth is a fitting choice for McIlroy — not only is it home to one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the world, but it also offers the security and tranquility the couple have been seeking. The golfer is expected to split his time between the UK and the U.S., especially during the PGA Tour season.
The announcement follows McIlroy’s historic win at the 2025 Masters, where he finally completed the career Grand Slam — a dream that had eluded him for more than a decade. As he prepares to return to Oakmont for the U.S. Open this June, McIlroy is not just chasing another major title — he’s also embracing a new life chapter with his family firmly by his side.
Their move to Wentworth marks a symbolic and literal fresh start, and fans will no doubt be watching closely as McIlroy balances his pursuit of golfing greatness with his deepened commitment to family life.
