dailyloe.com – Professional golfer Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll welcomed their daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, in August 2020. The couple, who married in 2017, kept the pregnancy private until just before her birth. Rory McIlroy confirmed the imminent arrival during a post-round interview, stating he was waiting for a phone call. He described the experience of becoming a parent as the best part of being human.
Poppy was born on August 31, 2020, at 12:15 p.m. in Jupiter, Florida. Rory McIlroy announced the birth on Instagram with a black-and-white photo. He captioned the photo stating Poppy was the absolute love of their lives. He confirmed both mother and baby were doing great and thanked the Jupiter Medical Center staff.
Rory McIlroy has called Poppy an unbelievably polite and well-behaved little girl. She has practically grown up on the golf green alongside her father. Poppy has become a scene-stealer at the annual Masters Par 3 Contest. She has caddied for her dad at the event every year since 2023.
When Rory McIlroy won the Masters tournament in April 2025, Poppy was there celebrating with him. As the 2026 tournament gets underway, he is again chasing a green jacket. His biggest fan, his daughter, remains close by his side. The family’s life continues to blend professional golf with personal milestones.[]
