The reason for the split remains unknown, according to TMZ.

"He won't be making any further comment."

He secured victory ahead of Xander Schauffele to add to his haul, having previously won the competition in 2010, 2015 and 2021.
McIlroy is among the favourites to win the PGA Championship at Valhalla, Kentuckywhich kicks off in just three days.
The 35-year-old previously revealed he has got his sights set on winning another major.
He said: "I've been sort of banging this drum for the last few years, but I'm a way better player now than I was back then.
"I haven't had the major record to back that up, but I've had the wins, I've done everything else there is to do in the game since 2014.
"The only thing I need to do is get another major.
"You know, a win like this going into the PGA Championship next week is a good way to prep for that."
