Rory McIlroy is set for another Ryder Cup showdown at Whistling Straits this weekend as he hopes to help Team Europe retain their crown.
The multiple major winner is among a star-studded European team, captained by Dubliner Padraig Harrington, as they hope to reclaim the Ryder Cup three years after their Paris glory.
And ahead of the tournament, we've taken a look inside the family life of Rory McIlroy
The Irish golfer is married to Erica Stoll from America, and the couple have been married for four years.
Last year the couple welcomed their first child together, Poppy.
Erica is from New York and previously was a former PGA of America employee.
The pair met for the first time in 2012 when he was competing in the Ryder Cup at Medinah, with this year's tournament marking a nine year milestone for the couple.
Rory was late for his tee time when Erica came to his rescue. As a PGA employee, she was in charge of finding the golfers who had overslept or misjudged the time.
Despite Erica's heroics, the couple didn't begin dating until 2015, when Rory decided to call off his engagement to Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
The couple had just sent out their wedding invitations when Rory decided he wasn’t ready for marriage.
In 2015, Rory planned a romantic proposal to Erica in Paris in December.
The couple had their wedding at the stunning five-star Ashford Castle in Cong, Co. Mayo, in April 2017.
Many celebrity friends turned up for the event, including Niall Horan and Coldplay's Chris Martin while music legend Stevie Wonder and pop sensation Ed Sheeran also performed at the wedding.
McIlroy lives full time in the US with his young family, far away from where he was raised in Moneyreagh, Co. Down in Northern Ireland.
Rory purchased a luxury mansion in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, in 2012 for a whopping $10 million.
The home spans over an impressive 12,800 square feet and has seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms.
