Tennis superstar and Rory McIlroy’s ex-girlfriend Carolina Wozniacki commented on Brooks Koepka’s ‘wife appreciation’ post on Instagram. That comes just hours after her ex-boyfriend Rory McIlroy confirmed he and his wife Erica Stoll had filed for divorce.

Koepka, who has been married to Jenna Sims for the past 2 years shared an Instagram post with the caption,

“So proud of you @jenamsims amazing to see what hard work can do! I love you!”

The 2018 Australian Open winner Caroline Wozniacki commented “Hot mama” with three fire emojis on his post. Fans suspected the timing of both, as Brooks and Caroline’s social media activities weren’t coincidental.

One fan account also claimed that the LIV golfer was playing “mind games” with Rory McIlroy ahead of the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla. Brooks is the defending champion, while McIlroy has been in superb form coming into the year’s second major.

McIlroy has also not won a Major in a decade and will be eager to turn things around this year. However, the recent news about his divorce might take a toll on him.

Rory McIlroy’s communication team confirms he filed for divorce from wife of seven years, Erica Stoll

According to the Irish Independent, star golfer Rory McIlroy’s communications team confirmed that he and Erica had filed the divorce papers in a Florida court on Monday. The news comes as a shock, just days before the 2024 PGA Championship.

The married couple of seven years share a daughter, Poppy, who turns four in August. The timing for the divorce is a little surprising for McIlroy, who also broke up with his ex-fiance Carolina Wozniacki before winning the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla.

McIlroy co-incidentally also won two tournaments before his Major win, a feat he has achieved this year as well. The PGA Tour star won the Zurich Classic with compatriot Shane Lowry before triumphing in the Wells Fargo tournament this past week.

McIlroy and wife Erica first met in 2012 during his Ryder Cup match. Erica, who worked for PGA at the time, helped the young golfer after he had overslept for a Sunday single’s match.

The duo confirmed that they were dating after McIlroy’s infamous breakup with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki. They tied the knot in 2017, in a grand wedding at the Ashford Castle estate.

Do you think Rory McIlroy will repeat history and win the 2024 PGA Championship, or will the Major drought continue for the Irish golfer?
