What the **** is happening in golf?
Description
Has the world of golf gone mad?
Swearing, shouting, and lobbing pints – that was the Ryder Cup 2025.
Stephen Watson is one of the closest journalists to NI golfer Rory McIlroy.
He's just back from Bethpage Black, where he said the atmosphere sometimes felt like a Trump rally.
He has followed Rory's career since he was a kid; through Masters wins and defeats, and at countless Ryder Cups.
But Stephen tells Tara Mills and Declan Harvey that the abuse the golfer received in New York was like nothing he has ever seen before.
A furious McIlroy swore at American fans during one of many heated moments of the golf tournament.
Is all of this just par for the course in a Ryder Cup competition, or is it time to call Fore! on golf’s bad behaviour?
