00:07the Ryder Cup, where she was working as a PGA transport official.
00:10Though the couple appears happy today, their relationship faced a serious test not long
00:14ago.

00:25Full Swing, offering fans a rare glimpse into his personal life.

00:40According to Us Weekly, one contributing factor to the strain in their marriage was that Stoll
