RORY MCILROY has spoken out about his trip to see his new home as he celebrated Masters glory with wife Erica Stoll and his close family.

The Northern Irish golfer won his first Masters earlier this month to finally complete his career Grand Slam.

McIlroy, 35, travelled to London with Erica, 37, and their daughter Poppy after winning his first Major in 11 years.

The family checked out their new mansion, which they are building together in Wentworth.

They then continued on to Belfast to celebrate McIlroy’s achievement with close friends.

He said: “It’s been an amazing few days after and to be able to reflect on it and everything that happened and the magnitude of everything.

“The big thing for me is how the whole journey is how it resonated with people.

“It’s not every day you get to fulfil one of your lifelong goals and dreams.

“We first went to London with Erica and Poppy to see our new home that we’re building and we made the trip over to Belfast to see a few other people that are important to us.

“Just to be with them, to be with Erica and Poppy and my mum and dad.

“To see Michael Bannon my lifelong coach and spend a bit more time with Harry (Diamond) and his wife.

“Celebrate with the people that have been part of this whole thing for my entire career was absolutely amazing.

“As you can hear, I picked up a bit of a cold on the way, so I’m feeling a little bit under the weather.

“Obviously, it’s been an amazing few days.”

McIlroy went straight over to Erica and Poppy, 4, after he sank the winning put at the Masters.

The couple have been married for the past eight years but have not been without their issues.

Last year, they filed for divorce before performing a dramatic U-turn just weeks later.

Reports have claimed that Erica wants to leave their £16million Florida mansion and move back to the UK.

She is apparently “itching” for a new start, and the new build in London could be the perfect solution.
