As we get ready to watch Rory McIlroy compete for a possible major title at the 2024 U.S. Open, his wife Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy might be there watching, getting ready to celebrate if he wins yet another golf major.
The two met all the way back in 2012 at the Ryder Cup and got married in 2017 before Poppy was born in 2020. And we’ve seen some great photos of the whole family snapped over the years, including at the traditional Masters Par 3 Contest.
So let’s take a look at the couple over the years, including some shots from Augusta earlier in 2023:
