Rory McIlroy reportedly recruited a private investigator to serve divorce papers to Erica Stoll 24 hours after winning the Wells Fargo Championship.
According to reports, Rory McIlroy engaged a private detective to serve Erica Stoll’s divorce papers.
The revelation comes from a Belfast Telegraph piece released over the weekend, while McIlroy enjoyed a well-deserved week off from professional golf during the busy major season.
According to the flight tracker radaratlas2 on X, McIlroy’s private plane was in Italy, and the golfer may have attended a wedding, although this has yet to be confirmed.
McIlroy filed for divorce from his wife of seven years on May 13, 24 hours after winning his 26th PGA Tour championship at the Wells Fargo Championship.
According to the BT report, McIlroy digitally signed the paperwork between 9.06pm and 9.08pm EDT on May 9.
The procedures were filed in Palm Beach County Court by Thomas Sasser, the same attorney who represented Tiger Woods during his divorce from Elin Nordegren after his extramarital affairs were revealed.
Court documents also show that Carl Woods served Erica with the summons.
Woods has been a cop since 1987 and is both a trained homicide investigator and a registered private investigator.
“According to Woods’ filing, he got the divorce papers from Sasser’s business at 9.58 a.m. on May 13 and personally served them on Stoll at the McIlroy family house in the elite Jack Nicklaus neighborhood The Bear’s Club at 10:30 a.m.
He characterized Stoll as white with blonde hair, in her 30s, slim, standing between 5ft 7in and 5ft 8in tall, and not wearing glasses.
“The summons sent on Stoll said that she had 20 days to file a written response to her husband’s petition with the circuit court clerk.”
Furthermore, the contract warned that a phone call would not protect you. If you want the court to hear your side of the story, you must file a written response that includes the case number and names of the parties listed above.
“If you do not file your response on time, you risk losing the case and having your salary, money, and property confiscated without further notice from the court.
“There are other legal requirements. You may wish to contact an attorney straight away. If you don’t know an attorney, you can contact an attorney referral service or a legal assistance agency (as mentioned in the phone book).
McIlroy has yet to speak publicly about his divorce.
And he doesn’t want to.
When asked about his private life during the PGA Championship, he responded curtly.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed DailyMail allegations suggest the golfer is romantically connected with CBS golf reporter Amanda Balionis.
McIlroy will play his next PGA Tour event this week.
The Northern Irishman, 35, is the overwhelming favourite to win the RBC Canadian Open.
McIlroy won the Canadian Open in 2019 and again in 2022.
Following his victory, the golfer took an aim at LIV Golf Commissioner Greg Norman.
