Rory McIlroy and the rest of Team Europe taunted Donald Trump after their big Ryder Cup win over America … but in surprising fashion, POTUS ended up taking the high road.
Just after Team USA couldn’t complete its comeback against Europe on Sunday at Bethpage Black in New York … McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and the rest of the Europeans sent a trolling message Trump’s way.
In the video, the guys could be seen and heard chanting, “Are you watching? Are you watching? Are you watching, Donald Trump?” — all while they raised their trophy with glee.
Trump, of course, is a huge golf fan who attended Friday’s opening action in an effort to give USA a bump. But, somewhat shockingly, he didn’t come up with a snarky retort for the gloating champs.
“Yes, I’m watching,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Congratulations!”
McIlroy and his squad certainly deserved to relish in the victory … as they took a ton of verbal abuse from fans throughout the three-day tournament.
One time during play, McIlroy actually had to tell the crowd to “shut the f*** up.” At another point, he had to wipe a thrown drink off his wife’s hat. Afterward, he called fans’ behavior unacceptable.
Fortunately for all parties, everyone will have some time to cool off — the next Ryder Cup won’t go down ’til 2027.
