Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll were seen sporting matching watches whilst holidaying in Portugal. McIlroy and Stoll were set to end their marriage earlier this summer, after the Northern Irishman filed for divorce.

After their divorce papers were made public, the pair’s marriage was described as ‘broken’ with the news breaking just days before the beginning of the PGA Championship. Just weeks later however, McIlroy and Stoll opted to make a u-turn, as their separation was cancelled.

This time, in the build-up to the US Open, after the four-time major champion released a statement revealing they were planning to move forward as a family. "There have been rumours about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate," McIlroy said, per The Guardian.

"Responding to each rumour is a fool's game. Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning."

The pair were then pictured together at the Scottish Open earlier this month, before McIlroy returned to the major stage for last week’s Open Championship. Things did not go to plan for the 2014 champion, as he missed the cut by some way after a testing opening two rounds at Royal Troon.

Heading on holiday, McIlroy then jetted off to the Algarve alongside Stoll. The pair were seen getting into a 1990 Jeep Wagoner, both wearing a Patek Philippe watch. McIlroy’s World Time Chronograph is set to be worth a whopping £105,000, with Stoll’s Nautilus Watch worth over an estimated £87,000.

Earlier in the week, the couple were seen enjoying some fun in the sun with their young daughter Poppy, heading to the beach during their stay on the Algarve. Stoll was pictured wearing her wedding ring, after McIlroy had been seen sporting his on the golf course in weeks.

McIlroy had said in recent years that he had not been able to enjoy a holiday for ‘four or five years’, but is getting some much-needed time away with the family this week on the back of his Open struggles. His attention will return to golf next week though, as he will represent Ireland alongside Shane Lowry at the Olympic Games in Paris.
