Rory McIlroy may be dominating headlines after his latest success at The Masters Tournament, but it’s his daughter, Poppy, who is stealing the spotlight this week. During the fan-favorite Par 3 Contest at Augusta, Rory shared a candid update about his daughter’s experience at the tournament—and her priorities might be a little different than his.
“This has definitely turned into Poppy’s favorite week of the year,” he revealed. “I don’t know if it’s because of the Par 3 tournament or it’s all you can eat ice cream in the player services building.”
As Rory continues competing at the highest level, his life as a dad has become a major part of his story. Here’s what to know about his daughter and their sweet father-daughter bond.
Yes, Rory and his wife, Erica Stoll, are still married.
The couple tied the knot in 2017 and have largely kept their relationship private over the years. Despite a brief rough patch in 2024, they reconciled and have remained together, with Erica continuing to support Rory at major tournaments, including The Masters.
Rory has one child. He and Erica share a daughter named Poppy, who was born in 2020.
After welcoming his daughter, the golf pro told Golfweek in an interview that the experience has been “amazing.”
