Recall that the pair started dating in 2014, two years after they first met. McIlroy first met Stoll at the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois, where she was working at the time. They had one child together.
Meanwhile, speaking ahead of the PGA competition, the world No. 2 revealed that he believes that he is ‘way better’ now than he was when landing his fourth major 10 years ago.
“I’ve been sort of banging this drum for the last few years, but I’m a way better player now than I was back then.
“I haven’t had the major record to back that up, but I’ve had the wins (23 across the PGA Tour and DP World Tour since 2014), I’ve done everything else there is to do in the game since 2014.
“The only thing I need to do is get another major. You know, a win like this going into the PGA Championship next week is a good way to prep for that.”
