Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica have settled into their Surrey home for the summer months, making the move to their Wentworth estate ahead of the Memorial Tournament.
The 37-year-old golf star used a fortnight-long break following the PGA Championship to get the family established in England.
It's been quite the journey for the Northern Irish golfer, who first purchased the property back in 2023 and spent considerable time renovating it.
The Telegraph originally broke the news that McIlroy was eyeing a permanent London move, and following his grand slam triumph in 2025, the golfer confirmed the estate work was finally complete.

Despite the estate being ready, this isn't a permanent relocation just yet.
McIlroy revealed during the Ryder Cup that America remains the family's primary home, and they're planning to keep it that way for now.
The reason? Their daughter Poppy, who turns six this August.
The golfer told Corrigan that a full-time move to London won't happen until Poppy is ready for secondary school.
It's a decision that puts their little girl's education front and centre, with the family happy to split their time between continents rather than disrupt her primary schooling in the States.
The reason behind the McIlroys moving to the UK is down to the weather
| GETTYThe summer switch also comes down to weather.
Florida's scorching heat during the warmer months can be pretty brutal, and the pleasant climate around Wentworth offers a welcome escape.
It turns out Erica is particularly keen on the English summer, as she's not the biggest fan of intense sunshine.
While she's happy to call America home for most of the year, the opportunity to enjoy milder temperatures in Surrey clearly appeals.
It's a lovely compromise for the family – they get to experience the best of both worlds, enjoying England's gentler summer weather while maintaining their established life across the Atlantic.

The youngster went viral at the 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest when she holed a tricky downhill putt on the ninth hole – and even insisted her dad carry her putter in his bag.
"She is the most unbelievably polite and respectful and well-behaved little girl, and I really love that she started to get into the game a lot more," McIlroy said.
The golfer has spoken beautifully about fatherhood, calling it "probably the best part of being a human being."
