⛳🍻Golf used to be the sport of polite claps, hushed whispers, and the occasional “Good shot, old boy.” Now? Rory McIlroy’s wife is getting heckled like it’s a Premier League away day in the 1980s. Team Europe were apparently so close to walking off the Ryder Cup course that you half expect riot police in hi-vis to line the fairways at the next one. When did golf swap cardigans for chaos?
🍺 “You’ll Never Putt Alone”
It’s official: golf has a hooligan problem. The Ryder Cup has turned into a mash-up of Augusta National and Millwall away at Leeds. Forget the soft swoosh of a 7-iron — now it’s all boos, jeers, and personal abuse aimed at wives and partners.
The USA only just apologised to Rory and Erica, like a drunk mate finally texting “soz” three days after vomiting in your hallway. Too little, too late. And the worst part? This isn’t passion. This is weaponised tribalism dressed up as “support.” If golf wanted football-style chants, it should’ve at least borrowed the inflatable bananas.
The irony is brutal: in a sport where fans are literally told to shut up while someone swings, the silence between shots is now the loudest stage for abuse. That’s not rivalry. That’s cowardice. And if Europe had downed clubs mid-tournament, it would’ve been the most powerful protest since John McEnroe screamed “You cannot be serious!” — except this time, we really couldn’t.
🔥 Challenges 🔥
Is this just “banter gone bad,” or has golf crossed the Rubicon into full-blown hooliganism? Should players walk off next time, or should the fans be marched off instead?
