Rory McIlroy discusses Bethpage Black fans, whether he'd want Ryder Cup back in New York

Team Europe celebrates with fans on the first tee at Bethpage Black after winning the 2025 Ryder Cup.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Rory McIlroy was public enemy No. 1 at Bethpage Black all week.

The reigning Masters champion was the solo leader in heckles thrown his way at this weekend's Ryder Cup on Long Island. Most were fine, but many crossed the line.

Whether it was telling him his wife was "a four," asking about Amanda Balionis amid a previously rumored fling (with his wife mere feet away), dropping F-bombs, or constant reminders of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, McIlroy is sure to be happy that this Ryder Cup is over.

McIlroy was stoic and ignored everyone 99.9% of the time. But that 0.01% included him telling fans to "shut the f--- up" on Saturday morning and another instance that afternoon where a fan told him he was "not that good," to which he responded, "I'm very f---ing good."

"I am. I am really good," McIlroy reiterated to Fox News Digital during Europe's celebration press conference, right after chugging a beer.

But McIlroy has to stay composed, because an athlete is automatically the bad guy if they respond.
