"The United States has produced an early Ryder Cup faux pas after an official t-shirt appeared on sale, featuring a silhouette which bears an uncanny resemblance to Europe's Rory McIlroy. What on earth was wrong with Scottie Scheffler? McIlroy is the leading name on the European roster to face the US at Bethpage on the final weekend of September. Social media erupted after the item appeared on the US element of the official Ryder Cup shop. Costing $65, the navy Ralph Lauren t-shirt carries the slogan USA Ryder Cup 2025.' The golfer performing a follow through as the backdrop is almost certainly McIlroy albeit the Northern Irishman shrugged off the bizarre matter at Wentworth on Tuesday."
"At this point I want to play golf when I want to play golf, McIlroy explained. I want to play in the locations that I love to go to, I want to play the majors and the Ryder Cup. That's it. I'm not going to be going by minimums or anything else. I'll obviously do my bit to make sure I keep my membership and all that on certain tours but I'm going to play where I want to play."
An official US Ryder Cup t-shirt went on sale showing a silhouette that many identified as Rory McIlroy, prompting social-media reaction. The navy Ralph Lauren shirt, priced at $65, carried the slogan "USA Ryder Cup 2025." McIlroy downplayed the matter at Wentworth and suggested the figure might look like Adam Scott. Organisers have been contacted for comment. McIlroy recently won the Irish Open with a dramatic eagle and a play-off victory, and confirmed plans to finish 2025 playing majors, the Ryder Cup and events in the Middle East, India and Australia while choosing his own schedule.
