Golfer Rory McIlroy is currently the centre of attention at the 2026 Masters, where he is in a tight battle to defend his title as the reigning champion. On April 12, 2026, he tied for the lead with Cameron Young at 11-under par heading into the final round at Augusta National. Rory entered the third round with a historic six-shot lead, which is the largest 36-hole advantage in Masters history. However, after that, he couldn’t perform up to expectations and lost the lead. Despite his disappointing third round, his fans are still hopeful of him defending his title at The Masters.
If Rory wins today, he will reach a historic milestone by becoming the fourth-ever player to win back-to-back Masters, equalling the record of Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods. Notably, he has withdrawn from the RBC Heritage in South Carolina next week to rest after The Masters. As the Northern Irish pro golfer leads the headlines, here’s a look at his personal life with his wife, Erica Stoll, and why they once filed for divorce.
