Ryder Cup 2025 Marred by Unruly Fans Targeting Rory McIlroy
The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black has been marred by unruly fan behavior, with Team USA and the PGA of America facing criticism. Fans' rowdy conduct, particularly targeting Rory McIlroy, has led to increased security and widespread condemnation.
The second day of play saw heated moments involving players, caddies, and vice-captains. A fiery incident occurred between Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose, Ted Scott, and Francesco Molinari, adding to the tense environment. On the course, Team USA's performance has been poor, with the Ryder Cup leaderboard reflecting their struggles.
Fan behavior reached a low point when some crossed the line, hurling insults about players' families. An MC encouraged a '**** you Rory' chant on the first tee, later apologizing. Rory McIlroy, the target of relentless heckling, told fans to 'shut the *** up'. Social media widely condemned the behavior, with many feeling it let Team USA and the PGA of America down.
The behavior of home fans may have inadvertently fueled a fire that could burn for years to come. The PGA of America and Team USA will need to address this issue to maintain the integrity and decorum of the Ryder Cup.
