Rory McIlroy captured his long-awaited Green Jacket at Augusta, completing golf’s career Grand Slam. Celebrating with wife Erica Stoll and their daughter Poppy, he put his family at the heart of an emotional victory, ending an 11-year major drought.
CBS reporter Amanda Balionis, rumored to have had a past connection with McIlroy, praised his “legacy” win on social media. Her congratulatory message came despite months of speculation following McIlroy’s brief split and reconciliation with Stoll in 2024.
While neither McIlroy nor Balionis addressed the rumors directly, public interactions between them, especially during post-round interviews, drew attention. Despite the chatter, McIlroy’s reunion with Erica stood firm as he shared this career-defining moment with his family.
