Rory McIlroy wins Masters and completes Grand Slam
Rory McIlroy wins the Masters at last, overcoming a rollercoaster final round to complete the career Grand Slam.
Rory McIlroy said he and his family were moving from their Jupiter home to a new house in the U.K. after the U.S. Open in June.
The 2025 Masters champion said he was keeping the $11 million home in Palm Beach County to use during the golf season.
Rory McIlroy has put a stamp on South Florida since moving to Palm Beach County, Florida. But it seems his title as a Jupiter resident will be changing from full time to part time.
The 2025 Masters champion and co-founder of the TGL golf league told Telegraph Sport ahead of the Truist Championship that he and his family will be moving into a newly finished home in the United Kingdom. McIlroy told Telegraph they would move in after the U.S. Open, which concludes June 15.
'Straight after Augusta we travelled over to see the house as it was going through the finishing touches,' McIlroy said in the interview May 7. 'It was fun to see and we could have stayed in it, but we wanted to get over to Holywood (his hometown in Belfast, Northern Ireland),' where he had a private celebration after completing the career grand slam.
Telegraph reported in 2023 that McIlroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, purchased a plot of land in Wentworth, a private community in Surrey that includes the exclusive Wentworth Club that is the headquarters of the PGA European Tour.
The move isn't surprising for fans of the Netflix series "Full Swing," where McIlroy said Stoll preferred the cooler climates of the U.K. In May 2024, McIlroy filed for divorce before filing a voluntary dismissal in June in Palm Beach County Court.
Is Rory McIlroy moving out of Florida?
This doesn't mean McIlroy is leaving South Florida behind for good. He said the Jupiter home he bought from Ernie Els in 2018 would remain "their base" during the golf season.
McIlroy has been a Florida man since 2013. In 2018, he moved into The Bear's Club, an exclusive community built by golf legend Jack Nicklaus where former NBA megastar Michael Jordan also lives. For $11 million, he bought the house that covers more than 13,000 square feet with nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. McIlroy and Stoll have lived there since, raising their 4-year-old daughter, Poppy.
The move does bring into question McIlroy's future involvement with TGL, the indoor golf league that finished its inaugural season in March out of the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. McIlroy and fellow Jupiter resident Tiger Woods co-founded and played in the league from January to March.

Rory McIlroy (three times) is also gunning for victory, while Tiger Woods (two) remains out due to injury. Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, Justin Rose and Justin Thomas are the other former Tour Championship winners who could do it again with an inspired weekend on the links.

Rory McIlroy Hints at More Changes to FedEx Cup Tour Championship Format
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Tour Championship will tee off Thursday, with 30 of the best players in the world vying for the season-long title where Rory McIlroy seeks his fourth FedEx Cup title at East Lake. Scottie Scheffler is the favorite, fresh off his win at the BMW Championship. McIlroy is the second favorite, followed by Tommy Fleetwood, Russell Henley and Ludvig Aberg. The 2025 Tour Championship is taking on a new format. All players will start level, unlike recent years. Previously, the points leader would begin the tournament at 10-under, second place at 8-under, with each place after that starting one stroke further back until you reach even par. Fans and golfers alike voiced their displeasure with that system. But apparently, McIlroy was not among them. "I'm maybe part of the minority. I didn't hate the starting strokes," McIlroy told reporters Tuesday. "I thought that the player that played the best during the course of the season should have had an advantage coming in here. But the majority of people just didn't like the starting strokes. "I was on the PAC when we were trying to go through that, and really it was just a way to try to simplify the advantage that the top players were going to get over the course of the week instead of Steve Sands doing calculations on a white board," the Northern Irishman joked.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) More Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images With all players now starting at even par, anyone can win. McIlroy clearly feels that format is not the fairest way to determine a season champion. But as a member of that PAC (Player Advisory Council), another format was brought to the forefront. "Look, there was a lot of other stuff on the table. Match play was on the table, and that got canned for this year. That might be brought back up in the conversation for next year or the year after," said McIlroy. It remains to be seen how long the new, current system will be used. But if someone who barely finished inside the top 30 after the BMW wins the FedEx Cup, leaving stars like Scheffler and McIlroy empty-handed, another change is not hard predict. Determining a season-long champion since the inception of the FedEx Cup has long been up for debate. But McIlroy is just going to roll with whatever comes. "I don't know if it's the best format, but it's the one that we have for this week." More Golf: PGA Tour 2026 Schedule Revealed With One Major Shake-Up

Honey Deuce season is served: Get a taste of the US Open cocktail, plus new food and drink offerings
The U.S. Open is underway and set to serve hundreds of thousands of tennis fans its top-ranked stadium fare and adult libations alike -- from the cultural phenomenon Honey Deuce cocktail to newcomer must-try menu items, here's a peek at what's new at the Grand Slam event. US Open brings beloved food and drinks The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is well loved for its culinary and hospitality scene by the New York City chefs and visiting patrons alike, so much so, that the venue was named the No. 22 sports stadium for its food offerings by Yelp on Wednesday. In honor of the start of all the Grand Slam action spanning the next two weeks, check out the returning classic sips and rookie season bites being served at the U.S. Open. Honey Deuce season is served for the 2025 US Open What is a Honey Deuce? The non-initiated may posit the question to a seasoned U.S. Open patron. The signature Grey Goose and lemonade cocktail remains a winning serve at New York City's premiere tennis tournament with more than 3 million sold since its inception in 2007. According to the brand, the drink generated more than $12.8 million in sales with more than 556,000 cocktails sold in 2024 by the USTA. And with three green melon balls per cocktail, more than 1.68 million individual honeydew melon balls were served during the 2024 tournament alone, with 8.4 million served since its debut. American tennis star Frances Tiafoe teamed up with Grey Goose off the court for a renewed partnership, returning as the face of the beloved beverage. Outside of the hallowed tennis venue, the cocktail will be showing up in other ways around the city this year, including an activation at the new Last Serve Bar in Vanderbilt Hall at the iconic Grand Central Terminal. The location offers fans rushing to and from the stadium a chance to pop in for a toast at the end of an afternoon match or en route to an evening session. The pop-up located on the east side of the station's Vanderbilt Hall opens Wednesday, Aug. 27, through Friday, Aug. 29. There will be complimentary "tiny 'tini" Honey Deuce and Espresso Martinis available for the mass transit riders to enjoy. For any fans enjoying the Open from home, the Honey Deuce Express service is back in New York and Chicago, as well as for the first time available in Miami, where customers can have canned versions delivered via Uber Eats and Cocktail Courier. Other venues around New York City are also serving the signature drink, including The Otter at The Manner hotel in SoHo, where tennis fans can get a taste of the drink through Sept. 9. The restaurant is also offering a specialty dessert inspired by the tournament's hit lemony drink, called The Final Serve. It's a buttermilk parfait layered with yuzu curd and butter shortbread crumbs made to resemble a tennis ball. How to make a Honey Deuce cocktail According to 2024 purchase data from Total Wine, fans have proven interested in trying their hand at the drink at home with an 800% increase in transactions compared to weeks prior to the U.S. Open that included the main ingredients for the Honey Deuce: Chambord and Grey Goose. The simple and refreshing highball recipe is also easy to replicate at home. Ingredients 1 1/2 parts Grey Goose vodka 3 parts Fresh Lemonade 1/2 part Chambord black raspberry liqueur 3 honey melon balls for garnish Directions Chill a collins glass or the commemorative cup by placing in the refrigerator or freezer or by filling with ice water for 5 minutes. Once the glass is sufficiently chilled, fill with ice. Measure and add vodka. Top with a measured amount of fresh lemonade. Measure and add raspberry liqueur. Garnish with a skewer of 1 or multiple frozen honeydew melon balls. Click here to see how to make it frozen. Simon Kim, founder and owner of Gracious Hospitality Management -- behind New York City's popular Korean fried chicken hotspot COQODAQ -- is bringing back the beloved bites, plus something new to the U.S. Open for the second year. COQODAQ will debut a highly-anticipated fried chicken sandwich, along with a few exclusive off-menu surprises. In a tease for tennis and fried chicken fans, the restaurant posted a new video on Instagram Wednesday to build the hype for the new menu, in a style reminiscent of "The Bear," that highlighted the chefs' meticulous recipe development process. This time, with a signature COQODAQ experience at the Club Level at Arthur Ashe Stadium and a revamped 'CQDQ' at the Food Village. In 2024, the team sold more than 100,000 nuggets during its debut run, alongside offering luxe $100 caviar boxes.
