Rory McIlroy's Real Estate Ventures: From Dream House to New Plans with Erica Stoll

Rory McIlroy's Property Investments

Rory McIlroy spectacularly revived his bid to finally win the Masters and complete the career grand slam with a stirring fightback at Augusta. The Holywood superstar shrugged off the disappointment of two late double bogeys in the space of three holes in his opening 72 to card an eagle and four birdies in a second-round 66. The thrilling effort lifted McIlroy to six under par and a shot behind the man who denied him a fifth major title in last year’s US Open, Bryson DeChambeau, with Justin Rose setting the halfway target on eight under following a 71. Whether he finally wins the tournament or not, McIlroy is set to be handsomely rewarded for his efforts in Georgia.

Property Portfolio Overview

Here, we look at some of the properties McIlroy has invested in over the years, including a £17 million mansion in Florida, his former property in Co Down, and rumors of a new build in the UK. Prior to his first two major titles – the US Open in 2011 and the PGA Championship in 2012 – he resided in a dream £2m property in Co Down. The 14-acre estate was equipped with his exclusive driving range and a private green. However, as he was spending more time in the US, he decided to put down roots in Florida, reluctantly selling up to TV presenter Gary McCausland to invest in his current base. McIlroy now resides in his £17m Jupiter mansion with his wife, Erica Stoll, and four-year-old daughter Poppy. Situated in the Bear's Club golf community, the 2.4-acre property boasts nine bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, an infinity pool, games room, and home theatre.

Future Plans and Investments

In a recent development, JJ Spaun has shared details of a private chat with McIlroy after losing their play-off at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. On the Fore Play Podcast, Spaun revealed that McIlroy was building a new property in the UK. McIlroy's representatives were approached for comment. In an exchange with German golfer Martin Kaymer, McIlroy also remarked on his partner’s preference for cooler climates compared to Florida’s heat. The insight follows McIlroy's admission on Netflix's Full Swing series about his future plans. He said: 'If it was up to her [Erica], she wouldn't move to England straightaway, but she definitely wants to spend more time there.'
