Pro-golfer Rory McIlroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, showed subtle PDA at the Masters Par 3 Contest almost a year after they called off their divorce.
On Wednesday, the couple was seen looking all smiles while posing for pictures at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., as their 4-year-old daughter, Poppy, stood between them.
The annual family-friendly event allows golfers to spend some time on the green with their wives and kids before teeing off at the high-stakes tournament the following day.

Stoll, 37, and Poppy dressed in white caddy outfits, looking happier than ever as they strolled the course with McIlroy.
At one point, the Northern Irish athlete was seen sweetly kissing Stoll on the forehead while they stood on the green, proving that last year’s brief split was definitely in the past.
McIlroy, 35, filed for divorce from Stoll in May 2024 after seven years of marriage, stating that their union was “irretrievably broken.”

At the time, McIlroy’s rep told us that he wanted “to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible.”
Despite McIlroy filing the paperwork, a source later told Us Weekly that Stoll had been “lonely in their marriage.”
“Rory was a hard person to be married to,” the insider said.
“[Erica] knew what she was getting into with his profession, but once they had Poppy, things really changed and she had a new perspective,” they added. “Erica was usually absent for most of his tournaments and was really focused on Poppy.”

The source said the two had been “living very different lives the last two years with him being on the road, and eventually she had a breaking point.”
However, the pair announced they were giving their marriage another shot just one month after McIlroy filed to end things.
In June 2024, the golfer revealed he and Stoll worked through their issues and he officially submitted a notice of voluntary dismissal.

“Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together,” he told the Guardian in a statement. “Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
McIlroy met Stoll in 2012 at the Ryder Cup, where she worked as a PGA transport official. At the time, he was in a relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
The two athletes called off their wedding in May 2014, and McIlroy began dating Stoll later that year.
