Golf star Rory McIlroy is expected to marry his sweetheart Erica Stoll in the west of Ireland today.

Erica Stoll may have got golf star Rory McIlroy to the tee on time but now she must rely on someone else to make sure he gets to his wedding on time.

Excitement is building in the Mayo village of Cong as it braces for the wedding of the year when Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll tie the knot at Ashford Castle next weekend.

World number one golfer Rory McIlroy has spoken about his “very happy” love life, a year after his high profile split from tennis star Caroline Wozniacki.
