Insults against his wife, a beaker, police officers with dogs – and that with the Golf. Rory McIlroy from the victorious team Europa let off steam after the Ryder Cup in the USA.
The equivalent of 640 euros cost tickets for the Ryder Cup. Not in the package for three days, but for one. The belief that such tickets would only be bought by people who do not throw filled beverage cups for other people turned out to be misleading on the golf course of the Bethpage State Park on Long Island in the US state of New York.
The belief that the audience in the Golf is generally fair and reserved is exposed to the Ryder Cup every two years as a misconception. The traditional competition is much more recharged and rougher than the major tournaments, in which, however, the worst opponents of local heroes are also felt that fairness can be stored at a certain point.

Exceeded boundaries
In the Ryder Cup 2025, the boundaries, which are still kept with a rough tone, were exceeded. The organizer also saw it that way, so he had Europe’s top golfer Rory Mcilroy and his wife Erica Stoll accompanied by police officers.
“I wish they let go of the dogs”said Mcilroy on Sunday evening local time. Then he had already had the first part of the victory celebration, and therefore the statement was also recognized as a joke. If the Americans had succeeded in a successful catch-up on the last day after almost hopeless gap, who knows whether he would not have seriously put the same words in his mouth.
US golfers admit: “Some evil things were definitely said”
The insults that he and his wife, who accompanied him on Saturday about the course, would have been heard “unacceptable” According to the northern end. An inferior opponent also admitted that. “Some evil things were definitely said”admitted Justin Thomas to put into perspective: “I don’t think anyone was in danger.”
Laughter after the victory: Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll
That was a matter of interpretation, because a video spread by Golf.com on Instagram shows how a filled beverage mug flew past Erica Stoll. It is open whether it was the throwing of the wife McIlroys.
His wife is with the attacks, including the verbal, with “Class, attitude and dignity” The second in the world ranking list, who had already spent his fans during the round on Saturday and showed an obscene gesture during the round. You should keep your snout, said Mcilroy after being disturbed in his resolution movements.
Shane Lowry, who had made the 15:13 win of the Europeans for the crucial half point for successful title defense, said about Erica Stoll: “It is incredible what she had to endure out there and how she still supported her husband and the team.”
Even Donald Trump sounds like reconciliation
The Ryder Cup will be held in Lowry’s home in Ireland in two years: “It will be a little more beautiful than playing here.” In the feeling of victory, the Europeans treated themselves to a top against the man, who crosses borders almost every day, which was considered cemented months ago. “Do you look at Donald Trump?”sang the victorious golfers.
The US President’s answer on his network sounded as if even the meaning of reconciliation instead of splitting is like him: “Yes, I’m watching. Congratulations!”
