The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black has been marred by controversy as players voice their frustrations over the crowd's unsportsmanlike conduct. Collin Morikawa, who had previously called for 'chaos' to energize the event, clarified that he did not anticipate the level of hostility directed at players, particularly Rory McIlroy. Morikawa stated, 'I wanted a lively atmosphere, but the abuse crossed a line.'

Jon Rahm echoed these sentiments, describing the crowd's behavior as 'out of control' and detrimental to the tournament's integrity. The European team faced significant hostility, which has prompted discussions about crowd management at future events. As the dust settles, the PGA of America is expected to review measures to ensure a more respectful environment for players and fans alike.
