Rory McIlroy apparently got cold feel when he was engaged to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014, calling off the ceremony only days after the wedding invitations were mailed.
Now the Irish Independent is claiming the former No. 1 golfer in the world from Holywood, Northern Ireland, is engaged again.
The Independent reported that a source close to McIlroy said the 26-year-old four-time major champion proposed to American Erica Stoll, 27, recently in Paris. Rory posted a picture of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram, leading to speculation that he popped the question there.
“I am very happy in my love life,” McIlroy said last month at the DP World Championship-Dubai, which he won to claim the title in the European Tour’s Race to Dubai with Stoll in the gallery. “If everything off the golf course is good, it allows you to be better on it as well.
” … She is from America (and lives near his home in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.), which is why I like to spend time in Spring Beach. She doesn’t play golf, but she is involved.”
Stoll was involved with the PGA of America in 2012 when McIlroy credited her for getting him a police escort to Medinah to make his Sunday singles match in the nick of time when he was confused about his starting time.
McIlroy beat Keegan Bradley, 2 and 1, to help the European team pull off a huge rally and beat the Americans.
Stoll and McIlroy reportedly began dating about a year ago, only months after McIlroy not only called off his engagement to Wozniacki, but broke up with her during a phone call.
