Rory McIlroy Invests In Irish Open, Wants Stability After Wedding To Girlfriend Erica Stoll

Rory McIlroy may be feeling his roots after his engagement to his girlfriend Erica Stoll. The golfer decided to invest a lot in the Irish Open, which shows that he is seeking stability after his impending wedding to Erica.

“My commitment to making the Irish Open as successful as it can possibly be is well known,” Rory McIlroy said according to Golf Digest. “If we can learn anything at all from such a huge event on the PGA Tour, that can only be a good thing. I was delighted the foundation was given the chance to learn more about what has made Phoenix so popular."

Sounds like Rory is looking deep within himself to become more than just a golfer, more than just the guy that left Caroline Wozniacki at the alter.

The good news is that the flake Rory McIlroy is still engaged to his girlfriend Erica Stoll despite his bad track record. Seeing how he called off the wedding to Caroline Wozniacki after the wedding invitations were sent out, the Irish golfer has a bit more time to be tested.

But so far, it doesn’t look like he 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.

Maybe he is channeling all his second thoughts and insecurities about his wedding on developing the Irish Open.

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!
