Details of Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll's prenup have emerged as the couple prepare to go their separate ways after seven years of marriage.
McIlroy stunned fans by filing for divorce on the eve of last week's PGA Championship, with reports claiming his marriage to Stoll has reached 'breaking point'.
The couple are said to have been living separate lives for the past two years due to the golf star being away from home for tournaments so frequently, which has caused a strain on their relationship.
As a result, the pair are now set to divorce after the bombshell filing was made last week - leading to discussions over who will keep hold of certain assets.
McIlroy and Stoll signed a prenup when they tied the knot back in 2017, and reports suggest the former has a right to keep their lavish $22million Florida mansion thanks to that agreement.

According to The New York Post, the 13,000-square-foot property in Jupiter belongs to McIlroy as per the prenup, though he is not expected to stay put.
It is believed the Northern Irishman will hand over the keys to Stoll while he searches for a new pad, in order to provide a stable home for their four-year-old daughter Poppy.

The divorce filing reportedly calls for shared custody and a parenting plan to be established for Poppy.
McIlroy purchased the Jupiter, Florida home inside the guard-gated Bear's Club golf community from golf legend Ernie Els for a staggering $11m back in 2012. It is now believed to be worth double.
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.
The home was built in 2002 and was previously owned by former PGA star Els. The South African golfer is a former World No 1, like McIlroy, and is a four-time major champion, also the same as the Northern Irishman who bought the incredible home from him.
The South Florida residence also boasts a luxury infinity pool, as well as a games room, tennis court, home theater, recording studio and state-of-the-art gym. The 13,000-square-foot home also has a six-car garage.
McIlroy has earned an estimated $87m in winnings on the PGA Tour over the course of his career, however Stoll may not be entitled to half of his fortune despite penning the prenup.

In Florida, where the couple are situated, is not considered a community property state, meaning a judge will decide how to divide marital debt using the state's equitable distribution laws.
McIlroy's attorney in the divorce case is listed as Thomas Sasser, the same lawyer who represented Tiger Woods when his ex-wife Elin Nordegren split from him in 2010.
Nordegren ended up walking away from her marriage to Woods with $100m, which was just one-sixth of his golf fortune.
McIlroy's divorce from Stoll comes amid rumors of a potential romance with CBS sports journalist Amanda Balionis.
DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week that McIlroy's relationship with CBS's 19th Hole reporter is the talk of the links and has left many fans wondering just how close the pair have become.
Balionis was tasked with interviewing the 35-year-old after he won the Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina on Mother's Day earlier this month, and their chemistry on camera only intensified speculation.
She pointed out that he was wearing his 'Mother's Day' pink, though while she asked him to pay tribute to his mother, Rosie, she did not extend the same invitation about Stoll.

Fans have also been questioning the status of Balionis's two-year marriage to college football coach-turned tech company account manager Bryn Renner.
The sports journalist and former University of North Carolina quarterback got engaged in 2021 and married in 2022.
In recent appearances Balionis has not been wearing her wedding band, with the ring nowhere to be seen on social media in February.
And while neither party has filed for divorce, the reporter has switched her X username from her married moniker of Balionis Renner back to her maiden name of Balionis.
