Justin Thomas Responds to Rory McIlroy Treatment from USA Fans at Ryder Cup ๐
the crowd um before the game against um Rory and Shane Lowry and you were you saw you witnessed the abuse that was that was dished out to them and you also saw I’m sure that there were police dogs brought in and their extra straight state troopers. How close do you think we’re getting to to a position where the safety of golfers both US golfers and European golfers is in danger? I mean, I don’t think anybody’s safety was necessarily in danger. I understand what you’re saying. I mean, uh, words hurt, too. Uh, there’s definitely some nasty things said, but I don’t think anybody was necessarily fearing for their life or was in any kind of of situation where they were going to get hurt, but, um, but yeah, I I think it’s anybody that was out there could pretty blatantly tell you that there was there were some things said. Um, and yeah, it was I mean I said it to Kim and I said it to Shane and Rory yesterday that we we felt for him.

The New York fans suck. Entitled lowlifes. They brought the game of golf down in the entire world. But it is expected, their collective IQ is so low, they now have a communist close to becoming their mayor. Idiots.
When is everyone going to finally admit that alcohol is the problem?
Did anyone throw a beer at Justin's wife? LUCKILY, she wasn't hurt. DISGUSTING AMERICAN CROWD AND PLAYERS.
the most mental country after the genociders, you should be worried if you are a european golfer
Hiw closexare we getting to merica behaving like a third world contry.
Yes, throwing drinks at the wives is "normal" behavior. This is the country where nutters only need to sneak in a gun, just like the schools, so NO NEED to be scared here!
The fans are idiots but I agree with JT here. What a ridiculously over the top assessment. โIn dangerโ itโs a golf course not an old firm derby
Even entertainment and sports becomes toxically political in the US. The world is watching is utter confusion and horror.
The liberals in this country are wacked out. They are the ones who are creating all the riots and violence. They just keep crying because they lost this last election and really need to grow up. They need to lie and cheat to win. The demon democrats, poor losers.
The buttheads felt they were getting their monies worth. I think it backfired and gave EU more determination. I'm proud of our USA team.
Basically a non answer, I give up on the PGA, Americans are all pieces of garbage, just sit on their hands oh sorry, not good enough but totally expected from the narcissists in the USA.
You are a piece of crap. If this was you and your family it would have been a big deal. ๐คฌ๐จ๐ฆ
ok…here's essentially the story:
AI Overview
The issue at the 2025 Ryder Cup was that American fans crossed the line from spirited heckling to unacceptable abuse, targeting European players like Rory McIlroy with personal insults, homophobic slurs, and other insults, including some aimed at his wife. This behavior escalated to the point where it caused delays, led to player outbursts, and resulted in the ejection of multiple fans.
Personal attacks: Players were subjected to personal insults, including remarks about their wives and families, as well as homophobic slurs.
Disrupting play: The crowd repeatedly made noise during players' backswings and routines, forcing them to stop and back away from their shots.
Player reactions: The abuse, particularly directed at Rory McIlroy, led to him yelling at the crowd and even getting into a verbal altercation with a fan. Other players, like Shane Lowry, also received a significant amount of abuse.
Official response: The U.S. team captain, Luke Donald, stated that the fans had "crossed the line". The PGA of America also increased security and added extra staff.
Wider impact: The behavior was widely condemned, with players like McIlroy calling it "unacceptable" and stating that golf should have higher standards.
There is NO excuse for this: " spirited heckling?" What? it's a pastoral game and it should be as tranquil as if no crowd was present.
Very simple problem to solve.
No spectators anymore ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The PGA only seems to understand and pay attention to things that hit their bottom line.
Really? Let me throw a bottle at your wife's head then tell us again
You've heard of the Yankees.
You've heard of the Mets.
Here we have the New York S#*+s !!
Shameful how silent the US team has been on the treatment of other golfers
No More Events should ever be held in the United States after all this happened. America is burning to the ground by the hr…. maybe every 5 seconds with ICE and everyone turning a blind eye
Just a complete shit show.
Iโm an American and ashamed of the lunatics and behavior that was allowed. If I were from anywhere else in the world, I would stop playing in the US altogetherโฆitโs not safe on many levels.
Wow. This man just tried to minimize unacceptable behavior. Anything but a strong condemnation is just unacceptable. Shame.
It's golf. Why do yanks say, if you don't die you can't complain
Team US dud nothing to hush the crowd. This ain't nascar. Fing mud.
Bryson D is a piece of shoit for joining a tour supported by elites that want to destroy us all. Fk HIM!!!
Idiot
Thomas is making an Inadequate Reply to this shit. Events where security is on the list need to be boycotted.
someone throw something at his wife's head and then see what he thinks
Mother f****. Would love to see how this c*nt shrivels up
If it was him on receiving end.
clicked on this expecting a statement, left thinking yep…as bad as the retards in the crowd.. unfortunately you cant cure stupid…well done USA you did it again….ffs
The USA just became an international embarrassment to the World.
America sucks
Spineless response.
Dude – stop protecting the scum – own the problem and tell us how you plan to fix it..
That's one of the weakest 'stand up' moments I've ever seen in my life. In almost no other professional sport can fans get within 5 feet of the biggest of the biggest stars in that sport; maybe boxing as they walk by to the ring etc…no way are you going to get that close to Lebron or especially a top QB…and even then it's going to cost you a pretty penny; not for the lower class. I watched Rory and Tiger tee off at the 9th, at Riviera and paid $50 for that ticket. Golf is certainly not aware, I'm guessing, at the potential for a total catastrophe if players themselves think there's nothing wrong with crazy fans.
It appeared to me that part of the US team egged the crowd on!
Justin, f you for down playing it! There is no room for this kind of behaviour in organized sport! Zero room! And not condemning it, is being complicit. WTF is wrong with you! This is just disgraceful and the USA is becoming more and more a sh!thole country every day!
95 percent of these are held at country clubs do you think this would happen at a country club????
wishy washy answer the behavior was disgusting, borderline violent, Don't downplay it condemn it!!!
Bethpage was chosen because they wanted this. Bethpage has the worst crowds.
Justin Thomas didn't care. Not a nice person.
AMERICA ARE FUCKING UP THEMSELVES FOOLS SO FAR UP THEIR OWN ARSE THEY DONT TEALISE HOW DIFFERENT THEY ARE TO THE REST IF THE NORMAL WORL ON GOD, AMERICANS CAN GO TO FUKN HELL FOR ALL ANYONE CARES JUST A FUKN RETARDED COUNTRY THAT PUTS ISRAEL FIRST LOL AND WHOEVER RAN THAT TOURNAMENT NEEDS TO GET KIKD IN THE FACE NOBIDY WANTS TO PLAY ANYTHING THERE….FUK THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM DONT PLAY WITH THEM PERIOD THERES BILLIONS OF THEM AND THEY STILL DONT DOMINATE SPORTS
Thomas was complicit in stirring hostility and abuse by fans and then subsequently attempted to distance himself from it. I am Irish and no great fan of McIlroy by any means. Yank players and YANK fans behaviour was deplorable. Dirty rotten YANKS. ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช
So a scum boy excusing other scum boys. Typical American behaviour and ethics.
What a pathetic non answer, the Americans are just as at fault as the idiots on the course, I will never watch the PGA again.
I am very disappointed with Justin Thomas. I thought hecwould beca better man. He did not admit how bad the Americans abused the European . It was more then a nasty situation. JT should be saying that hecthoughtvit was horrible and that it should not be allowed. All of those spectators who were harassing the Europeans should have been immediately thrown out of the tournament. This is all about the PGA not wanting to hurt these redbecks feelings enough for them to not be allowed to vome to tournaments. This is all about money. The Americsn golfers should have condemmed the actions of their fans. The way the European golfers were abused was unforgivable. Am e icans should be ashamed of the American fans. All American golfers should condem these spectstors.
After I found out how badly the American fans acted i immediately pulled for the European golfers. If the fans had not harassed the Europeans they would have won by even more then what they did. Thevreason for this is that golf has a thing called Golf Ettiquite. To not speek or yell and to be quiet and to respect a ll golfers. This happened because of Trumps attitude of winning at any cost. What those fans did goes against the Golf Etticuite rules. It is the Americans who started this. If the American spectators had not harassed tge European team the Europeans would have won by even more. Any spectator doing what they did during the Ryder Cup should be ejected from any event in the future. These Americans were willing to cheat so the American team could win.
Weak response Justin! Same as your Captain Keegan. Didn't show the grace or guts to condemn the deplorable behaviour. Tom Watson however DID have the courage to speak against what went down. Power to him
Disgusting that none of the US team challenged the terrible verbal abuse at the time. Bradley is nothing more than a troublemakerโฆ..he was doing his best to wind up the crowd, and disappointingly, the US team to promote hostilityโฆ.NO CLASS
C'mon JT, grow a pair; some were behaving like classless, tRUMPer idiots.
The USA golf turned into a maga sht show! What a disgrace by the USA!
