Rory McIlroy's New Chapter: Luxury Life in Surrey with Erica Stoll
GOLF'S HOTSHOT, RORY McILROY, MOVES INTO LUXURY ENCLAVE WENTWORTH WITH HIS WIFE ERICA STOLL
The world of golf has just got a whole lot more interesting! Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and one of the most talented golfers on the planet, has made the stunning decision to leave his £16.5 million mansion in Florida behind and move into the exclusive Wentworth Estate with his wife Erica Stoll.
The Northern Irish golfer has been enjoying a two-week break in England after finishing sixth in the Travelers Championship, and it seems that his wife's wish of moving back to their new home in Wentworth has finally come true. The couple had previously confirmed that they were building a new mansion on the prestigious estate, which is famously known for being the home to many top golfers, celebrities, politicians, and billionaires.
The luxurious community sits on the edge of the famous private golf club, and McIlroy's new abode has been described as a "large, detached dwelling sited centrally within a substantive plot". The article reveals that McIlroy spent up to £9 million developing their family home, which boasts an outdoor swimming pool, play center, and 5ft-high water feature wall.
But what's even more juicy is the fact that McIlroy was granted "very special" permission to install a heat pump for his huge outdoor swimming pool after a heated planning battle. It seems that the golfer wanted to make sure that he could enjoy his new home's facilities to the fullest!
The Wentworth mansion has been described as having 10 bathrooms in addition to the nine bedrooms across the property, which is quite impressive! The article also reveals that McIlroy and Stoll's previous home in Florida was a 13,000-square-foot property with a luxury infinity pool, games room, tennis court, home theater, recording studio, state-of-the-art gym, and a six-car garage.
So, what's behind this sudden move? It seems that McIlroy needed some time to reflect on his game and recharge his batteries. In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, the golfing superstar revealed, "There's a detachment from the sort of week-in, week-out grind when you get back over here and Justin (Rose, another Wentworth resident) and I were talking about that... You play PGA Tour golf for the first 25, 30 weeks of the year and you need to completely get away from it - because this world of golf can become all-encompassing."
McIlroy also spoke about how his new home in Wentworth has been a breath of fresh air. "We came back a few weeks ago and moved into our new home in Wentworth and been since trying to settle in and it's amazing what two weeks of a bit of detachment can do for you, and sitting there being with your own thoughts for a while... Yeah, it's been nice to have this time to reflect and also to rekindle my excitement and enthusiasm for the rest of the year."
The article also reveals that McIlroy will be looking to put his post-Masters dip behind him at the Scottish Open before traveling to Portrush for the Open. It seems that the golfer is feeling revitalized and ready to take on the challenge ahead.
So, there you have it - Rory McIlroy's move to Wentworth Estate with his wife Erica Stoll has all the makings of a juicy celebrity scoop!
