ory McIlroy and his family are set to leave their US mansion in Jupiter, Florida, for a new home outside of London. The professional golfer, 35, and his wife Erica Stoll, 37, along with their four-year-old daughter Poppy, will relocate to a custom-built property in Wentworth, Surrey, as early as June.
McIlroy had previously purchased an $18 million mansion in Jupiter in 2017, but the family will now trade it in for a new home that they began building just months after calling off their divorce. The couple's decision to build a new home together suggests that their relationship is stronger than ever.
The move will allow McIlroy to continue honing his golf skills at one of the world's most prestigious clubs, Wentworth Golf Club. He has several upcoming tournaments, including the PGA Championship and the Open, which he will compete in before making the permanent move to London.
McIlroy had previously discussed their new home with reporters in April, saying that they visited the property with Poppy after the Masters tournament concluded. The family's travels also included a trip to Northern Ireland and a brief stopover in London.
The exact stage of construction for McIlroy's new home is unclear, but it's evident that the couple has made significant progress on their new life together. Despite a brief breakdown in their marriage last year, McIlroy filed to dismiss the divorce and the couple appears rock-solid once again.
McIlroy's decision to leave Florida will also save him from paying state income tax, which is a significant consideration for professional golfers who earn millions of dollars in prize winnings each year. His new home in Wentworth will provide him with the perfect blend of luxury, golfing opportunities, and family life.
