Proper news from Britain - News from Britain you won’t find anywhere else. Not the tosh the big media force-feed you every day!
This is the stunning $22million mansion that Rory McIlroy will unwind in with his wife Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy as he celebrates his Masters victory.
McIlroy, 35, clinched the Green Jacket at Augusta on Sunday evening with a dramatic play-off victory over Justin Rose to secure a career Grand Slam and win his first major title since 2014.
In May last year, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed photos of McIlroy and Stoll's home, which the Northern Irishman from golf legend Ernie Els for a staggering $11m back in 2012.
The magnificent abode in Jupiter, Florida is located inside the prestigious private members Bear's Club, which was founded by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara in 1999.
The home resides on 2.4 acres of highly desired land and is believed to have 10 bathrooms in addition to the nine bedrooms across the property.
It was built in the same year McIlroy purchased it from Els, who won four majors of his own as well as achieving the number one ranking spot.
The South Florida residence boasts a luxury infinity pool, as well as a games room, tennis court, home theatre, recording studio and state-of-the-art gym. The 13,000-square-foot home also has a six-car garage.
Just outside where Stoll and McIlroy have been living are the tees for a hole for a golf course inside the gated community.
The home is also surrounded by a variety of foliage, including several palm trees while the pool appears to have been renovated since McIlroy's purchase of the home.
McIlroy bought the home from Els while also owning a home in nearby Palm Beach Gardens, which he sold in 2018 for $12.9million.
Jupiter, which is a 90-minute drive north of Miami, is viewed as as prime real estate for golfers due to the many courses in the area.
On top of his Florida home, McIlroy also owns a huge mansion in charming La Quinta, California, which he bought for an eyewatering $12.3million in 2019.
The house, in a picturesque part of the west coast of America, comprises of six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and has incredible views of the Santa Rosa mountains.
Back in Northern Ireland, McIlroy still has roots in County Down, close to where he grew up in Holywood - which lies just over five miles north of Belfast.
He is believed to own a mansion dating back to the 19th century, with the 200-acre pad including its own private golf course, a lake and a tennis court.
On top of the three mansions, McIlroy also reportedly owns two apartments - one in New York, and one in the United Arab Emirates.
McIlroy will celebrate his maiden Masters win with Erica and Poppy - his wife being the first person he embraced after winning the prestigious tournament for the first time.
McIlroy went straight to his wife of eight years, who wowed in an all-white ensemble and dramatic wide-brimmed hat, and pulled her into an embrace.
He then knelt down to hug Poppy, who looked overwhelmed by the occasion, before scooping her into his arms as the tears continued to spill over.
McIlroy and Stoll have put on a united front all week at Augusta National - almost one year on from the beginning of their bombshell divorce drama.
The player sent shockwaves through the golfing world when he filed for divorce from his wife of seven years last May - just days before the beginning of the PGA Championship, the second major championship of the golfing calendar.
The PGA Tour icon left golfing fans further shocked when he performed a U-turn just a month later, calling off his divorce from Stoll ahead of last year's US Open.
Court documents filed in Palm Beach County and obtained by DailyMail.com last year had stated that their marriage was previously 'irretrievably broken'.
On the eve of his maiden Masters victory, McIlroy shared an adorable insight into how Stoll and their daughter Poppy helped him prepare for glory.
McIlroy, who made Augusta National history by starting with six consecutive threes Saturday, said he prepared for round three by taking in 2016 comedy Zootopia with his four-year-old daughter.
'I watched a little bit of Premier League football this morning, and then I actually watched Zootopia with Poppy,' he explained. [It's a] very, very good movie if anyone's interested.'
Earlier in the week, he had revealed that Stoll had finally convinced him to watch hit show Bridgerton, admitting he had been sneaking in a few episodes between rounds.
While last year's bid for a fifth major was dominated by his turbulent love life, this year's was the perfect example of a serene family life.
