Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll formed a united front as they enjoyed a day out with their three-year-old daughter, Poppy.
The golf star was spotted in Juno Beach, Florida, with his wife and adorable mini-me on Monday, less than 24 hours after his humiliating collapse in the final holes of the US Open at Pinehurst.
The trio gathered for what may have been a belated Father’s Day celebration at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, near their sprawling $22 million Jupiter home.
Both McIlroy and Stoll wore their wedding rings for the outing, which came just days after the Northern Irishman dramatically scrapped his plans to divorce his wife of seven years, as DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
The blonde beauty cut a casual figure in a beige T-shirt, jeans and flip-flops, while the former world number one looked equally relaxed in a black shirt, gray shorts and a baseball cap.
Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll formed a united front while out and about with their daughter Poppy
Last week, the golfer dramatically scrapped his plans to divorce his wife of seven years.
It came less than a month after she was served with divorce papers at her Florida home.
They smiled at Poppy, who walked between them, and McIlroy sweetly held her hand as they walked to their car.
It was the first time McIlroy had been seen since suffering a heartbreaking defeat in the midst of his quest to secure a fifth major title.
Thirteen years after winning his first US Open and his first major at Congressional, McIlroy looked set to finally return to the winner’s circle when he led by two strokes with five holes left.
However, he surprisingly missed from two feet six inches for par on the 16th and under four feet on the 18th, allowing Bryson DeChambeau to claim his second US Open title on an extraordinary final day in North Carolina.
It’s been a difficult few weeks for McIlroy, who filed to end his marriage last month and served Stoll with divorce papers at his family home.
However, less than a month later, it did a U-turn amid reports that the couple held secret meetings in an attempt to save their marriage.
‘There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to every rumor is a fool’s game,’ McIlroy said The Guardian last week.
‘Over the past few weeks, Erica and I realized that our best future was to be a united family. Fortunately, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning,” she added.
According to the Irish media RSVP LiveMcIlroy and Stoll met secretly at his Florida mansion every weekend for four weeks to discuss the confrontation.
They cite a source who claims the meetings initially focused on how they would parent their 3-year-old daughter Poppy, but conversations eventually led to them meeting.
The former world number one, whose PGA Tour earnings total nearly $87 million, met Erica, a New York state native, during the 2012 Ryder Cup while working for the PGA of America.
They began dating several months after he abruptly called off his engagement to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014.
