Details of Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll’s prenuptial agreement have emerged as the couple prepare to go their separate ways after seven years of marriage.
McIlroy shocked fans by filing for divorce on the eve of last week’s PGA Championship, with reports claiming his marriage to Stoll has reached a “breaking point.”
The couple are said to have been living separate lives for the past two years as the golf star was away from home so frequently to attend tournaments, which has caused strain on their relationship.
As a result, the couple are now set to divorce after the explosive filing was made last week, leading to arguments over who will get certain assets.
McIlroy and Stoll signed a prenuptial agreement when they married in 2017, and reports suggest the former is entitled to keep his lavish $22 million Florida mansion thanks to that agreement.

According The New York PostThe 13,000-square-foot property in Jupiter belongs to McIlroy under the prenuptial agreement, although he is not expected to stay there.
It is believed the Northern Irishman will hand over the keys to Stoll as he looks for a new house to provide a stable home for his four-year-old daughter Poppy.
The divorce filing reportedly calls for joint custody and the establishment of a parenting plan for Poppy.
McIlroy purchased the house in Jupiter, Florida, within the guard-gated Bear’s Club golf community, from golf legend Ernie Els for a staggering $11 million in 2012. It is now believed to be worth twice as much.
The home resides on 2.4 acres of highly desirable land and is believed to have 10 bathrooms in addition to the nine bedrooms throughout the property.
The home was built in 2002 and was previously owned by former PGA star Els. The South African golfer is a former world number one, like McIlroy, and is a four-time major champion, like the Northern Irishman who bought him the incredible house.
The South Florida residence also features a luxurious infinity pool, as well as a game room, tennis court, home theater, recording studio and state-of-the-art fitness center. The 13,000-square-foot home also has a six-car garage.
McIlroy has earned approximately $87 million in earnings on the PGA Tour throughout his career, however, Stoll may not be entitled to half of his fortune despite signing the prenuptial agreement.
But it is believed he will hand over the keys to Stoll as he searches for a new platform.

Florida rules do not necessarily guarantee Stoll half of McIlroy’s golf fortune, as the Northern Irishman earned $87 million in his PGA Tour career.
In Florida, where the couple is located, it is not considered a community property state, meaning a judge will decide how to divide the marital debt using the state’s equitable distribution laws.
McIlroy’s lawyer in the divorce case is listed as Thomas Sasser, the same lawyer who represented Tiger Woods when his ex-wife Elin Nordegren separated from him in 2010.
Nordegren ended up walking away from her marriage to Woods with $100 million, which was only one-sixth of her golf fortune.
McIlroy’s divorce from Stoll comes amid rumors of a possible romance with CBS sportswriter Amanda Balionis.
DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week that McIlroy’s relationship with the CBS 19th Hole reporter is the talk of link-ups and has left many fans wondering how close the pair have become.
Balionis was tasked with interviewing the 35-year-old after he won the Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina on Mother’s Day earlier this month, and their on-camera chemistry only intensified speculation.
She pointed out that She was wearing her ‘Mother’s Day’ rose.Although she asked him to pay tribute to her mother, Rosie, she did not extend the same invitation to Stoll.

Balionis’ wedding ring was noticeably absent in photos from her recent interview with McIlroy at the Wells Fargo Championship on May 11. She is married to college football coach Bryn Renner.
The flirtatious banter was evident during the Wells Fargo Championship on Mother’s Day, May 12, when Balionis laughed, flirted and bragged during his interview with the golfer.
Fans have also been questioning the status of Balionis’ two-year marriage to college football coach turned tech company account manager Bryn Renner.
The sportswriter and former University of North Carolina quarterback got engaged in 2021 and married in 2022.
In recent appearances, Balionis has not been wearing her wedding ring, and the ring was nowhere to be seen on social media in February.
And although neither party has filed for divorce, the journalist has changed your username from her married nickname, Balionis Renner, to her maiden name, Balionis.
