Rory McIlroy's Divorce Drama Has Golfers Buzzing in Trailer for New Season of Netflix's “Full Swing”
@Source: people.com
Rory McIlroy’s personal life takes center stage in the new season of the Netflix docuseries Full Swing. In a trailer released on Wednesday, Feb. 12, the pro golfer is seen seemingly alluding to the news of his divorce (and then subsequent reconciliation) with his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll. “I’ve struggled with trying to be the best golfer, the best husband, the best dad,” McIlroy, 35, says in a confessional. In another scene, golfers describe the scene when the news broke last spring that McIlroy had initially filed for divorce. “Everyone’s phones just started blowing up,” one person says, while another adds: “Rory’s divorce.” As McIlroy attempts to play through it all, cameras catch him dealing with off-the-course matters. “The Netflix cameras are following me right now so,” McIlroy says while on the phone. McIlroy filed for divorce on May 13, 2024, but less than a month later, on Tuesday, June 11, McIlroy's attorney filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on behalf of the golfer in Palm Beach County Court. “There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumor is a fool’s game," McIlroy said, while announcing the reconciliation. “Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together,” he continued. “Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.” Stoll and McIlroy share one daughter, Poppy, who they welcomed in 2020. In November, the athlete got emotional while speaking about his family after his win at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. McIlroy batted back tears while telling Sky Sports that the support from his wife "means a lot" to him.

Full Swing premieres on Netflix on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
