Rory McIlroy and his Ryder Cup teammates sure know how to celebrate! 🎉 After their thrilling victory against the USA at Bethpage Black, Team Europe partied hard in New York, reportedly racking up a whopping £230,000 bar bill. Shane Lowry and McIlroy led the charge, with champagne flowing freely and plenty of laughter and cheer.
The celebration didn’t just stick to a bar tab; social media was buzzing with behind-the-scenes clips of the team singing and dancing on their ride back, showing a high-spirited bunch relishing their sweet victory. One cheeky moment involved the team chanting “Are you watching, Donald Trump?” as they rode back, a playful nudge at the former US President who responded in good spirits.
On a lighter side, the drinks list was as impressive as the team’s golfing skills. The party saw them splurging over £116,000 on Moët and Chandon Brut Imperial, with more going on other fine champagnes, vodka, and cognac. Special mentions to some pricey sips, including the limited edition Hennessy cognac costing thousands per bottle!
Even amidst the celebrations, McIlroy opened up about dealing with some harsh heckling during the tournament, especially towards family members. Despite this, he praised his wife Erica for handling it with grace, saying, “She’s a very, very strong woman.” McIlroy emphasised that such behaviour shouldn’t be acceptable in golf, holding a mirror to the dignity and sportsmanship that the sport represents.
The night was long, the drinks expensive, but the memories? Absolutely priceless. Team Europe definitely knows how to mark a win in style! 🍾✨
