Masters champion Rory McIlroy is set to relocate his family to England after the US Open at Oakmont in June - granting wife Erica Stoll's wish in the process.
The Northern Irish golfer will move with his other half and daughter Poppy to their newly built home near the Wentworth Club in Surrey.
The family has been living in Jupiter, Florida for several years.
This latest move comes after McIlroy finally completed his career Grand Slam by winning the Masters at Augusta last month.

The McIlroys visited their new UK residence after his historic victory to see the "finishing touches" on the property they've been building for the past few years.
"Straight after Augusta, we travelled over to see the house as it was going through the finishing touches," McIlroy told the Telegraph. "It was fun to see and we could have stayed in it, but we wanted to get over to Holywood."
The move represents a significant lifestyle change for the family, with the pair set to become UK residents following the US Open in Pennsylvania.
The Surrey location is popular among professional golfers.
The McIlroys' decision to relocate comes after years of planning and construction on their English home.

Despite the move, reports indicate the family will maintain their Florida residence for when McIlroy competes on the PGA Tour.
Their current Florida home is a magnificent property located inside the prestigious private members Bear's Club, founded by Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara in 1999.
McIlroy purchased the Jupiter residence from golf legend Ernie Els in 2017.
The South Florida home sits on 2.4 acres of highly desired land with nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
The 13,000-square-foot property boasts luxury amenities including an infinity pool, games room, tennis court, home theatre, recording studio and state-of-the-art gym.

It also features a six-car garage and is surrounded by palm trees.
The property is situated in a gated community with golf course access just outside their door.
The move appears to fulfil Erica's preference for a cooler climate, with the American previously expressing her dislike for Florida's heat.
In the Netflix docuseries Full Swing, German golfer Martin Kaymer recounted a conversation with Stoll, saying: "I saw her at a Starbucks once, and she said, 'I really don't like the sun.' I said, 'Your state's called the Sunshine State, right?'"
