New Update Two Days Before US Open Opening
Started Dating in 2015, Married and Had a Daughter in 2017
"Overcoming Differences and Starting Anew"
World No. 3 Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) has withdrawn his divorce proceedings.
On the 11th (local time), AP reported, "McIlroy and his wife Erica withdrew their divorce proceedings the day before," adding, "They have decided to continue their marriage." McIlroy's filing for divorce was revealed three days before the PGA Championship last month, and this time, the withdrawal of the divorce proceedings was announced two days before the start of the US Open.
He married Erica in 2017 and they have one daughter. Last month, he filed for divorce at the Palm Beach County Court in Florida, USA, stating that "the marriage has broken down irretrievably." About a month later, McIlroy reversed his position, explaining, "Over the past few weeks, Erica and I have realized that staying together as a family is the best future," and "Fortunately, we have overcome our differences and are making a fresh start."
McIlroy has won 26 times on the PGA Tour and has claimed four major titles: the 2011 US Open, the 2012 and 2014 PGA Championships, and the 2014 The Open Championship. Winning the Masters would complete his career Grand Slam.
