The Irish-born athlete, 35, filed for divorce from Stoll, 36, on Monday after seven years of marriage, Page Six confirmed via court documents.

In the filing, McIlroy claimed the pair’s union was “irretrievably broken” and revealed they signed a prenuptial agreement before their 2017 wedding.

However, the contents of their prenup were not disclosed.

McIlroy met Stoll in 2012 at the Ryder Cup, where she worked as a PGA transport official, while he was in a relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.

However, he called off his wedding from Wozniacki two years later and started dating Stoll soon after.

After three years of dating, the couple tied the knot during a star-studded wedding — which reportedly cost $250,000 — at the medieval Ashford Castle in Ireland.

The A-list guest list included the likes of Stevie Wonder, Niall Horan, Ed Sheeran and Chris Martin.

The pair went on to welcome their 3-year-old daughter, Poppy, in 2020.

In the filing Monday, the athlete stated that he and Stoll should have “shared parental responsibility” for the toddler.

He also requested that “a parenting plan should be established, on both a temporary and final basis.”

The divorce filing came just a few days before McIlroy is set to tee off at the PGA Championship, where he is one of the favorites to win the Wanamaker Trophy.

He won the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2014.
