Will Rory McIlroy be Punished for Flipping the Bird at Americans During Ryder Cup Fourballs?

Rory McIlroy & Co. are having a ball at Bethpage! The crowd in New York has been absolutely hilarious as they are getting very creative with their heckling. Apart from the Irishman, even Jon Rahm admitted that he was enjoying the hilarious taunts from the American supporters. But that was all during practice. Now that the 2025 Ryder Cup has begun, things have heated up on the fairway. And it seems that McIlroy got caught in a moment where he may regret acting out.

One of the supporters shared a video of Rory walking off from one of the greens at Bethpage during the fourball matches. As he was on his way out, a fan’s taunt must have gotten on his nerves because he was seen flipping him off. The fan who posted the video was still not sure if McIlroy was actually showing the bird or just waving at the fan, though. Hence, their caption read, “Hard to see if Rory McIlroy is waving to a fan or flipping them the bird here!”
