Rory McIlroy is still engaged to his girlfriend Erica Stoll. Seeing how he called off the wedding to Caroline Wozniacki after the wedding invitations were sent out, Rory McIlroy has a bit more time to be tested.
But so far, it doesn't look like the Irish golfer is about to call off the engagement to Erica Stoll. Articles with headlines like, "Rory McIlroy really enjoys life, goes on crazy zipline in Dubai," according to CBS Sports, has been all over the media.
While he hasn't jumped ship on Erica Stoll yet, he did lose in Abu Dhabi to Rickie Fowler. Looks like his joy from engagement isn't translating directly into his game.
"[Rickie] Fowler finished a Sunday sprint at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship one shot clear of Thomas Pieters and with Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson all not far behind," according to SBNation. "With all four of those heavy hitters posting top-five results, the event certainly got its appearance fees' worth."
While Rory McIlroy wasn't far behind Rickie Fowler, this loss means that he needs to step up his game before the wedding to Erica Stoll!
After he basically left his previous fiancee Caroline Wozniacki at the alter, Rory McIlroy is treating Erica Stoll as nicely as he could. They spent the New Years Eve 2015 in a castle!
"Rory McIlroy and new fiancee Erica Stoll are believed to be spending New Year's Eve at the five-star Ashford Castle in Mayo. The top golfer was spotted on a luxury break with his new fiancee Erica Stoll," according to Irish Independent.
Other than that, Rory McIlroy has also been pouring praises on his girlfriend. He admitted that she has been a "great influence" on him and said, "I know you've seen Erica around tournaments a lot, but we really have tried to keep it low key. She is a low-key person, but she brings a level of normality to everything."
Even before the engagement announcement, Rory McIlroy showed the world that he is going steady with his girlfriend Erica Stoll by taking her to a football game.
