Rory McIlroy Gets Back to Golf After Calling Off Divorce — but Still Without His Wedding Band

McIlroy said Tuesday that he and wife Erica Stoll "have realized that our best future was as a family together"

Rory McIlroy is back on the green after calling off his divorce from wife Erica Stoll.

McIlroy, 35, was seen during practice at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina on Wednesday, June 12 ahead of the U.S. Open, but the golfer was noticeably still sans wedding band during the outing.

The four-time major champion appeared to be in good spirits during the practice, smiling and laughing while talking to his caddie, Harry Diamond, and German golfer Martin Kaymer.

McIlroy was wearing shorts and a grey polo, and topped his outfit with a white Nike baseball cap.

According to Golf.com, McIlroy and Kaymer, who won the U.S. Open in 2014, played a nine-hole practice on Wednesday ahead of the tournament. The outlet said McIlroy "chatted casually" with the caddies and Kaymer before signing autographs for kids once he finished his practice.

As he looks to win his first major title since 2014, McIlroy is partnered with Scottie Scheffler and most recent PGA champion, Xander Schauffele, in the first two rounds of the U.S. Open.

On May 13, McIlroy filed for divorce from Stoll, 36, PEOPLE confirmed. But on June 11, the pro-golfer's attorney filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on behalf of the golfer in Palm Beach County Court.

Speaking to The Guardian after the news of his reconciliation, McIlroy addressed the "rumors" about his marriage of seven years. “There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumor is a fool’s game," McIlroy told the outlet on Tuesday.

He said that in the "past weeks" since filing for divorce, he and Stoll "have realized that our best future was as a family together" per The Guardian. "Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning," he added.

Stoll and McIlroy share one daughter, Poppy, whom they welcomed in 2020.
