Rory McIlroy is currently preparing to play at the US Open, with that prestigious competition set to get underway on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, however, the golfer is preparing for a big change in his personal life.<\/p>\n

A year ago, McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll were heading for divorce. The news that the couple had split sent shockwaves around the golf world.<\/p>\n

However, the couple then performed a late U-turn after reconciling their differences. McIlroy announced the twist in an interview with the Guardian, saying: \u201cThere have been rumours about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumour is a fool\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

A year on, McIlroy and Erica appear to be happier than ever.<\/p>\n

She was by her husband’s side in April as he finally won the Masters, completing the career Grand Slam after 11 years of trying.<\/p>\n

And once this week’s US Open is out of the way, the couple will leave Florida and the United States behind in order to return to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The couple will be moving into a newly constructed mansion in Surrey, having lived together in the US for the past eight years.<\/p>\n

Erica is American. However, McIlroy previously admitted that she doesn’t like the sweltering Florida conditions.<\/p>\n

On the Netflix show Full Swing, McIlroy discussed Erica’s stance with German golfer Martin Kaymer.<\/p>\n

Kaymer said: “I saw her [Stoll] at a Starbucks once, and she said, ‘I really don’t like the sun.’<\/p>\n

“I said, ‘Your state’s called the Sunshine State, right?'”<\/p>\n

McIlroy himself then added: “If it was up to her, she wouldn’t move to England straightaway, but she definitely wants to spend more time there.”<\/p>\n

Having spent over \u20ac10million on renovations to their new Surrey home, finally the time for the couple to move back to the UK is nigh.<\/p>\n
