Task Force Can't Fix U.S. Ryder Cup

Morikawa acknowledged fans' abusive behavior at the Ryder Cup crossed a line but rejected blame, emphasizing his call was for energy, not rudeness, amid Europe's narrow victory.

  • On Oct 8, 2025 Collin Morikawa admitted American fan behaviour at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black crossed the line but said, 'that's not on me' for people being rude.
  • Two days before the Ryder Cup Morikawa urged US fans to create 'absolute chaos' at Bethpage Black but later said he meant energy, not rudeness.
  • Over three days spectators subjected Team Europe and Erica Stoll to insults, jeering, and a beer thrown, with players noting golf's closeness made heckling more personal and louder.
  • The conduct prompted swift criticism and an apology from Derek Sprague, PGA of America chief executive, while organisers added extra security and the misconduct overshadowed Europe’s 15-13 victory.
  • With Thursday tee times moved due to Typhoon Halong, Morikawa said, `You just have to adjust a lot tomorrow and be ready really to hit any club off the tee because it's going to play very different than what we've seen the first couple days.
