In a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, a man from Los Angeles has embarked on an ambitious restoration project. He is dedicating his time and effort to revive a fairytale-like castle in the Hollywood Hills that his mother left him before succumbing to cancer.

Teva Barnea, known online as @hollywoodhillscastle, has captured the attention of millions on TikTok as he shares the gradual renovation of this unique turreted stone estate. Nestled on Wonderland Avenue in Laurel Canyon, the home stands on a historic street once graced by music legends of the 1960s and ’70s. Today, it’s celebrated as one of the area’s most quirky private properties.

“This home was my mom’s lasting legacy after her cancer battle. Her presence is still felt here, and I am incredibly grateful,” Barnea, 30, expressed in a touching video caption.

Constructed in 1931, the castle-like home features enchanting turrets and stonework, reminiscent of a European storybook cottage. Spanning across four lots, the property has been affectionately compared to Frankenstein’s Castle due to its eccentric architectural design.

The charming three-bedroom residence boasts a Moroccan swag chandelier, vibrant red sconces, illuminated brickwork, and turret lighting. Luxurious amenities include a marble steam shower, three fireplaces, heated bidet toilets, and multiple courtyards graced by ancient oaks and colorful bougainvillea.

It has previously been listed for short term rental at $16,750 a month, marketed as a retreat suited to “artists, musicians, and creatives seeking inspiration and escape.”

For Barnea, the home has become something closer to a shrine.

“I wanted to show you what the house looks like as the sun is down and it is real calm and all the lights in the house are off too. This is the yard, the flowers,” he said in one video, guiding followers through the darkened property.

His TikTok biography reads simply, “This is my journey to honor my mom through the home she left for me.”

In another clip, he described the strange, almost meditative grief rituals the house has given him.

“I can’t quite explain it, but grief turns you into a bit of a bird watcher. Birds often fly right into the house. I feel it is my obligation to help them get out safety,” Barnea said. 

“In this particular occasion this humming bird actually hung out from me for a while. It was a bit like it was thanking me. If you pay attention your loved ones will send you signs. I believe birds are one of the ways they communicate with us.” 

He has also opened the door to using the castle professionally.

“My mom passed about a year ago and left me this classic Hollywood Hills home. For a while, I didn’t really know how to handle it. Or what to do. Since, I’ve been updating it. I’m open to shoots, productions and so forth. It’s my dream to carry out my mom’s legacy with the home,” he wrote.

Followers have responded with a mix of sympathy and wonder in the comments, several framing the house and its history in near mystical terms. 

“She must’ve been magic,” wrote one commenter. 

Another wrote, “I can feel her energy through the screen, this is so beautiful.” 

One follower cautioned him never to part with the property because “she left you whimsy,” while another insisted “fairies definitely live there.” 

Several others offered condolences alongside the awe, with one writing, “truly magical. I got chills watching this. I am so sorry for your loss.”

The home’s past, however, is not entirely whimsical. In 2010, the property, then rented by tattoo artist and television personality Kat Von D, was heavily damaged by a fire that killed her pet cat, Valentine. 

Barnea has said in TikTok videos that Von D kept candles throughout the home and that arson investigators ultimately attributed the blaze to a candle fire, adding that only the home’s stone construction kept it standing. 

He has said his late mother Deborah Dresbach, later reached a settlement with Von D that included a non-disclosure agreement, one he said he was not bound by given his age at the time.

Von D has publicly disputed that account, saying the fire began in the basement due to faulty wiring she had already raised concerns about, that she was traveling on a book tour when the fire broke out, and that no NDA was forced on the homeowner. 

“I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose a mother that you’re so close with, but at the same time, I didn’t set the house on fire,” she said in her own TikTok response, adding that the fire “was a tragedy and it was out of both of our controls.”

A solemn moment unfolded at Dover Air Force Base as President Trump, accompanied by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, paid tribute to four U.S. servicemen who recently perished in Iranian attacks. Their presence marked a growing toll of casualties, and the gravity of the occasion was palpable.

The President stood in solidarity with the grieving ‘Gold Star’ families during the dignified transfer of their loved ones’ remains, committing to etch the memory of these fallen ‘heroes’ deeply in the nation’s consciousness.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump expressed his determination to honor the fallen soldiers and highlighted their compelling insistence that Iran should never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.

“Honoring them is crucial,” Trump commented, reflecting on the emotional toll. “For me, it’s one of the hardest responsibilities as President, yet it is necessary. What I always tell the families is that we love you, and we love your child.”

Moreover, the President noted an unnamed poll which suggested while Americans might resist higher gasoline prices, there is a noticeable lack of opposition to the ongoing conflict.

A White House official said the President privately met with the families of the fallen soldiers before the dignified transfer. 

The heartbreak ritual marks one of the most agonizing and somber duties required of any commander-in-chief – and marks the third such ceremony Trump has attended since launching the war in Iran in February.

The dignified transfer included two US Army soldiers who lost their lives during devastating Iranian missile and drone strikes in Jordan.

A third service member, believed to be the soldier missing in the wake of the deadly Jordan assault, will also be brought home during the emotional ceremony.

A fourth soldier killed in Iraq by a detonating Iranian drone will also be returned to their family.

Among those being brought home is Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Spring Lake, North Carolina, who lost his life in the attack in Iraq.

The Pentagon also confirmed the solemn return of Angel Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York – the soldier who went missing following the strikes in Jordan and is now believed to be deceased.

Meanwhile, the Defense Department identified two other young service members killed in the Jordan assault as Isabella Gonzales, just 19, of Carrollton, Texas, and Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

Trump told reporters Sunday that the US was striking Iran ‘in honor’ of the fallen troops.

Eighteen American service members have now made the ultimate sacrifice since the war erupted on Feb. 28.

But as the American body count climbs, a fragile interim truce aimed at ending the hostilities has collapsed – prompting a wave of fierce US retaliatory strikes across the region.

Taking an unflinching stance on Monday, Trump delivered a stern warning to Tehran: ‘They will pay for that killing many times over!’

The commander-in-chief vowed that every single American life taken by Iran would be met with heavy retribution, making his solemn Dover visit a stark reminder of the war’s rising human cost.

Carried solemnly from the transport aircraft, flag-draped transfer cases bearing the fallen soldiers are moved into waiting vehicles before being brought to the base mortuary facility, where the fallen heroes are prepared for their final journey home.

The heartbreak of the ceremony is something the President knows all too well.

Having previously called the solemn duty ‘the toughest thing I have to do’ during his first term in office, Trump has already attended two dignified transfers since this war erupted – most recently making the trip in March.

With the US midterm elections approaching in the fall, polls have pointed to the unpopularity of the war among Americans, who have felt the pain of pricier gas and seen new casualties in a conflict that weeks ago seemed to be winding down.

As Secretary of War Pete Hegseth then petitioned Congress to approve the increased funding on Tuesday, he was berated by protesters.

‘Your hands are bloody,’ one woman said as US Capitol police dragged her from the room.

Hegseth resumed talking, only to be interrupted again a few seconds later. 

‘Stop bombing our children in Iran and Palestine – this is illegal,’ a second woman stood and shouted.

Both held signs saying in all caps, ‘No war in Iran.’

Meanwhile overseas, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni visited Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict seeking to revamp diplomacy where he met Pakistan’s army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

In a statement, Sharif expressed deep concern over the recent US-Iran escalation, and urged all sides to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could further destabilize the region.

DOVER, Del. — On Wednesday, President Donald Trump made his way to the solemn grounds of Dover Air Force Base to honor four U.S. service members who lost their lives in the Middle East.

As reported by the White House, Trump was present to witness the return of these fallen heroes to their grieving families. This duty, one of the most profound a president can perform, marked Trump’s third attendance at such a dignified transfer since initiating a military campaign in Iran back in February.

According to a government insider, speaking privately due to restrictions, two U.S. Army soldiers were casualties of combined missile and drone strikes by Iran in Jordan. Their transfer home was part of this dignified ritual.

Additionally, the remains of a third service member, who is believed to have gone missing after attacks in Jordan, will be returned. The remains of another soldier, who died during an Iranian drone incident in Iraq, will also be honorably transferred.

“I’ll be heading to Dover for a duty I regard with the utmost honor,” President Trump expressed from the Oval Office on Tuesday, underscoring the gravity and respect involved in this humbling task.

The soldiers killed in Jordan were identified by the Defense Department as Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas. The soldier who disappeared after the Jordan attacks and is now believed to be deceased is Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, the Defense Department said.

The soldier killed in Iraq was identified as Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, who lived in Spring Lake, North Carolina.

“We feel very badly, but you know, those great people, those great patriots were out there fighting so that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. He added that the U.S. was striking Iran “in honor” of the fallen troops.

The U.S. has launched multiple retaliatory strikes against Iran as an interim agreement to end the war falls apart. Trump on Monday said that every time Iran kills an American soldier, “they will pay for that killing many times over!”

Since the war began on Feb. 28, 18 U.S. service members have been killed.

Trump on Tuesday said that while almost all the incoming fire in Jordan was stopped, some made it through.

“They did slip something through in Jordan,” he said. “If we had other operators, you know, it would have not happened, unfortunately.”

He went on: “We’ve stopped almost everything, but when you let other people do your job with the United States – we let other people do the job – and sometimes it doesn’t work out so well.”

Trump did not elaborate on his comments, and it was not immediately clear who Trump was saying was responsible for protecting U.S. forces in Jordan.

Trump has attended two previous dignified transfers since the outset of the war, most recently in March. During his first term, he described the ritual as “the toughest thing I have to do” as president.

During the ritual, transfer cases draped with the American flag and holding the remains of the fallen soldiers are carried from the military aircraft that transported them to an awaiting vehicle to take them to the mortuary facility at the base. There, the service members are prepared for their final resting place.

Feehan, a first lieutenant who was killed Saturday, will be posthumously promoted to the rank of captain and awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Action Badge. He was assigned out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command.

Gonzales, who was killed Friday, was a private with the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany. She graduated last year from Hebron High School in Carrollton, near Dallas, school officials said.

Rampersad, a sergeant who was believed to have been killed in Friday’s attacks, was assigned to the 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command in Ansbach, Germany.

Swinton, a sergeant who was killed Sunday, will receive a Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Action Badge, and will be promoted to staff sergeant. He enlisted in the Army in 2017 and was assigned to the 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Meanwhile, a new incident has intensified the urgency in Arizona. Approximately 30 miles from the location of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance six months ago, law enforcement has launched a manhunt following a harrowing home invasion that resulted in a sexual assault.

Sheriff Chris Nanos of Pima County, who is at the forefront of the investigations into both incidents, clarified to the media that there is currently “nothing to indicate the cases are related.”

This recent attack occurred in the early hours of Monday morning, just after 2:40 a.m., at a residence on the 12000 block of West Vegas Drive, situated near Taylor Lane and Ajo Way. These details have been corroborated by a report from local NBC affiliate KVOA, referencing the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies with the sheriff’s San Xavier District responded to the home after receiving a report of an assault.

Authorities said the intruder entered through an unlocked door, physically and sexually assaulted the victim, then tried to burglarize the home before fleeing. No arrests had been announced as of Tuesday.

The suspect is described as either Hispanic or White, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build. He has gray in his beard and was last seen wearing an oversized green shirt.

The home invasion occurred about 30 miles from the Catalina Foothills home where 84-year-old Guthrie, the mother of “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, disappeared on Feb. 1 in a case that remains under investigation by the FBI and the sheriff’s department.

News Media reported Tuesday that FBI Director Kash Patel said a four-day delay before the FBI joined the Guthrie investigation may have cost investigators crucial video evidence.

Patel accused the sheriff’s department of keeping the bureau “out of the investigation” for four days after Guthrie’s disappearance.

Nanos has disputed Patel’s account, saying the FBI was notified promptly and worked alongside investigators.

Authorities in the Guthrie case have said the unidentified person seen outside her home was believed to be between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall.

The sheriff’s department is urging residents who live near the crime scene to review home security or neighborhood surveillance footage that may help identify the suspect.

Anyone with information about the home invasion is asked to call 911 or submit an anonymous tip to 88-CRIME.

The FBI did not immediately respond to News Media’s request for comment on the investigation.

With social media platforms like TikTok fueling a growing anti-marriage narrative, and influencers and celebrities casting men as adversaries, a new perspective suggests that women might ultimately bear the brunt of these shifts.

In a thought-provoking opinion piece for USA Today, columnist Ingrid Jacques highlights the surge of “heteropessimism,” a term she uses to describe the burgeoning sentiment of disillusionment and friction women feel towards relationships with men. She believes that viral phenomena such as “divorce glow-ups” and a rise in male-bashing content have intensified gender divides.

Jacques points to research indicating that married women typically report higher levels of happiness, enjoy longer lifespans, and have greater earning potential than their single peers.

She argues that the types of media contemporary women engage with increasingly portray traditional relationships negatively. She draws attention to popular books like “Yesteryear,” which follows the life of a “tradwife” influencer.

In “Yesteryear,” Jacques observes, male characters are often depicted in unflattering stereotypical roles: they are portrayed either as absurdly immature “man-babies” or as domineering patriarchs who indulge in misogynistic circles. At one point, husbands are even labeled as “freaks.”

On Amazon, the book’s description includes, “A gripping, electrifying novel that is as darkly funny as it is frightening, ‘Yesteryear’ is a gimlet-eyed look at tradition, fame, faith, and the grand performance of womanhood.”

The trend coincides with falling US marriage and birth rates. Official US Census Bureau data from December shows that just 47% of American households in 2025 were married couples, down from nearly 66% 50 years ago.

Of those married households, only 37% included their own children under age 18, compared to 54% in 1975.

Jacques linked the shift directly to liberal ideology, noting that left-leaning Americans choose to opt out of traditional family lifestyles “far more often than conservatives.”

“Wherever you look these days, women who ‘free’ themselves from the chains of marriage are being celebrated,” Jacques wrote.

She highlighted cultural figures who publicly champion singlehood or life after divorce, including “Eat, Pray, Love” author Elizabeth Gilbert and model Emily Ratajkowski.

In April, comedian Leslie Jones criticized marriage, saying that most people she knew who got married are now divorced and arguing that “marriage is legalized slavery.”

A 2024 American Family Survey found that 37% of conservative women and 28% of moderate women, between the ages of 18 and 40, reported being “completely satisfied” with their lives.

However, liberal women of the same age reported only 12% feeling the same way.

The sentiment has also taken over social media through trends like the TikTok “divorce glow up,” where women post before-and-after photos celebrating their split. Jacques noted that in these videos, the women “typically look happier and more radiant in the ‘after’ photo.”

Citing Louise Perry, author of “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution,” Jacques argued that young women are being alienated after getting “burned by hookup culture” and lacking real friendships with the opposite sex.

Jacques argued that, like Perry, returning to marriage, not abandoning men altogether, is the remedy for the cultural divide.

“That won’t be true for everyone, of course,” Jacques concluded. “But men and women need to find a way back to each other. Discounting marriage won’t get them there.”

Disturbing new images have surfaced, capturing the grim scene following the tragic car accident that claimed the life of Kaylee Hottle on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old actress, known for her role in the silence of words, was riding as a passenger in a 1995 Honda Accord. The vehicle tragically veered off course and collided heavily with a ditch, with excessive speed cited as a contributing factor, according to TMZ. Her death was subsequently confirmed by her grieving father.

In the car with Kaylee were two other individuals, both of whom survived the crash. The 19-year-old driver sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, while the second passenger did not require medical treatment at the accident scene, as reported by the outlet.

Kaylee gained fame portraying a young girl who speaks with King Kong through sign language in the blockbuster films Godzilla vs Kong (2021) and its sequel Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024).

The released photographs reveal the extent of the catastrophic damage, focusing on the crumpled front end of the vehicle that carried the young actress.

The front of the 1995 Honda Accord has been almost totally crushed, with the hood crumped up and the bumper nearly destroyed.

Grass and mud were twisted in the front wheels and the bumper.

Kaylee’s father, Joshua Hottle, broke the news with his Facebook followers in a livestream titled ‘I am taking a flight that I never would like to take,’ in which he described having to travel from Texas to claim his daughter’s body, according to TMZ.

Joshua, who is also deaf, said via American Sign Language that he received a phone call from officials telling him his daughter’s heart had stopped on the way to the hospital not long after he learned about the accident. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Kaylee’s father for comment.

Kaylee’s school, the Texas School for the Deaf, also announced her passing on their Facebook page. 

‘It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that one of our TSD seniors, Kaylee Hottle, tragically passed away yesterday in a car accident in Frederick, Maryland.

‘Our hearts are with Kaylee’s family, friends, classmates, and everyone who knew and loved her during this incredibly difficult time.

‘At this time, we have very limited information and ask that everyone respect the privacy of Kaylee’s family and refrain from sharing or speculating about the circumstances surrounding the accident.

‘We recognize this loss will have a significant impact on our TSD community. Counseling and support services are available for students and staff who may need them, with additional support being provided for Kaylee’s classmates and friends.

‘Please keep Kaylee’s loved ones in your thoughts as we mourn this tremendous loss together.’

Kaylee is perhaps best known for her role of Jia, a young girl who was able to communicate with King Kong using sign language and had a ‘special’ connection with him. 

‘Because Kong and my character had a special bond. We signed with each other,’ she told The Daily Moth in 2021.

The script was translated into ASL with the help of Kaylee’s parents and another individual – a process that presented some challenges on set. 

‘I was fine with memorizing the script and signing my lines, but the tough part was signing out the “spoken” parts because we had to change it, and sometimes they’d tell us it was wrong but they didn’t understand that ASL changes almost everything,’ she said.

‘Because the interpreter said what I said. The producer and director would sometimes say “Don’t say that” and want me to follow the script, but the signs for that sentence would be different in ASL.

‘There was one instance where there was a misunderstanding between us related to the ASL translation, which caused a delay, but they later understood.’

Kaylee also taught her castmates how to sign: ‘Teaching the cast how to sign. They had never interacted with a deaf person before. 

‘I had to explain how to sign and use facial expressions. That was the hard part, but when they picked up on it, it was fine. I didn’t really have challenges, they were very accommodating. Some of the workers learned how to sign.’

At the time, Kaylee’s co-star Alexander Skarsgard sang her praises, calling her the star of the film. 

He even learned American Sign Language in order to communicate with her when they weren’t filming. 

Kaylee ‘steals the movie,’ he told Junkee in 2021. 

‘It’s her first movie,’ he said. ‘It’s fascinating how comfortable she is in front of the camera and how quickly she takes notes from the director Adam [Wingard]. 

‘He’ll explain something and she’ll be like “got it, got it,” then she’ll just do it and everyone’s like “the f- … how did she?” She’s so professional and just incredibly … there’s so much going on on her face, her expression and the subtleties of that is fascinating to watch.’

According to her IMDb, Kaylee hails from an all-deaf family. 

In addition to her role in the Godzilla films, Kaylee appeared on an episode of Magnum P.I. and did commercials for products which helped deaf and hard of hearing individuals.

She did a public service announcement for the video chat messenger Glide and a commercial for Convo Relay. 

Kaylee was also featured in 10 Deaf Children: One Powerful Message. 

Outside of the spotlight, she was also an athlete as a member of her school’s track and field team.  

In a tragic incident, an American soldier who perished in an Iranian assault in Jordan is being celebrated for her “life of courage and selflessness.”

The Department of War has confirmed that Sgt. Angel Rampersad, a 28-year-old from Ozone Park, New York, was among three soldiers who were “killed in action on July 17, 2026,” during an enemy onslaught at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. Following the attack, CENTCOM stated the soldiers were defending against Iranian missile and drone strikes alongside partner forces.

“Sgt. Rampersad demonstrated immense courage and selflessness throughout her life. Her contributions make both New York and our nation safer,” remarked New York Governor Kathy Hochul. “Her sacrifice should be remembered, and we must hold her loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.”

Hochul further expressed condolences, stating, “My heart is with her family, friends, and fellow soldiers who stood with her during this profound loss.”

The Department of War said the incident leading to Rampersad’s death is under investigation and that she was previously identified as missing. The other two soldiers believed to have been killed in the attack were identified as 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas. They were in Jordan supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, the international campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. 

“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military.” 

Rampersad was assigned to 1st Battalion, 57th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 52d Air Defense Artillery Brigade, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, Ansbach, Germany, and served as a 25U Signal Operations Support Specialist, according to the Department of War. 

“Today, we mourn the loss of Sgt. Angel Rampersad,” Brig. Gen. Glenn Henke, commanding general of the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, said in a statement. “We extend our deepest, most heartfelt condolences to her family and all those who are navigating this unimaginable loss. The 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command is grieving, and we will continue to support one another as we process this tragedy.” 

The Department of War said Rampersad enlisted in the Army in March 2019 and earned awards including the “Army Commendation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon.” 

In a revelation that surely sent ripples through golf’s establishment, Rory McIlroy recently opened up about his shifting enthusiasm towards the PGA Tour, a sentiment not likely music to executive ears.

The 37-year-old Golf icon from Northern Ireland candidly confessed that both the PGA Tour and the FedEx Cup no longer ignite the same passion within him as they once did.

“I think it just sort of ebbs and flows,” McIlroy remarked in response to inquiries regarding his current interest in these tournaments. “There have been years when I’ve dedicated more attention to [the PGA Tour], and others when I’ve not. Right now, I suppose I’m at a phase where other priorities take precedence for me.”

According to McIlroy, recent adjustments to the PGA Tour’s schedule, including changes to the much-anticipated Tour Championship, have contributed to his diminishing fervor.

Back in 2025, the tournament transitioned from a staggered stroke format to a traditional 72-hole stroke-play setup, a shift that has lessened the significance of lead-up tournaments.

The top 30 players now qualify based on a point system.

“I just need to be in the top 30 going in there to have a chance to win a FedEx Cup,” McIlroy said. “So why would I care about the first two [tournaments]? I sort of came to that decision last year, and I’m just sort of doing the same thing.”

The admission comes after McIlroy struggled to find his game during the British Open, finishing tied for 40th at 1-under.

He said he felt “stuck in neutral for most of the week,” getting a bogey anytime he thought he had a bit of momentum.

Regardless of the weekend’s struggles, McIlroy has placed himself among the best golfers of all time, winning the career grand slam at the 2026 Masters.

The issue, though, is that his success is also part of his dying enthusiasm for the tour. McIlroy has seemingly lost the love for winning the smaller tournaments.

“I’m nearly 20 years into this, and I need to do everything I can to keep my enthusiasm as high as possible, and playing a lighter schedule definitely does that,” McIlroy said after the Scottish Open.

The world No. 2 golfer added that a lighter schedule lets him see his family more, specifically his wife Erica and daughter Poppy.

The Northern Irishman will take another break following the British Open, with the plan to take several weeks off until the Tour Championship in late August.

McIlroy said he hasn’t really had the chance to celebrate his Masters win in April, so will do that during the break.

“Poppy’s got another four weeks off school until she goes back, so I’m just going to enjoy the summer holidays with her and Erica,” he said. “That’s what I’m looking forward to the most.”
