🚨 Rory McIlroy has officially announced he’s quitting all U.S. tournaments following the shocking abuse hurled at him and his wife during the 2025 Ryder Cup.

🚨 *Rory McIlroy Purportedly Quitting All U.S. Tournaments? Here’s What’s Real.
In recent days a viral claim has been circulating that Rory McIlroy — the four‑time major champion and one of golf’s biggest stars — has announced he’s quitting all U.S. tournaments in response to abuse he and his wife suffered during the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Here’s what’s true — and what isn’t:
🔥 What really happened:
At the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York, McIlroy and other European players were subjected to sustained heckling and, at times, abusive fan behaviour that crossed lines of decent sportsmanship. This included vulgar chants that even led an event emcee to step down, and reports that McIlroy’s wife was affected by crowd behaviour. The PGA of America’s leadership publicly acknowledged the issue and apologized to McIlroy and his family for what occurred.
🏌️♂️ McIlroy did openly condemn crowd conduct, describing parts of the atmosphere as the worst he’s experienced and insisting golf should uphold higher standards of respect.
📉 What is not confirmed:
There is no verified report that McIlroy has officially declared he’s quitting all U.S. tournaments permanently or withdrawing entirely from U.S. golf events as a direct consequence of Ryder Cup fan abuse. Current credible sources don’t support that dramatic “5 minutes ago” announcement — it appears to be misinformation or exaggeration rather than factual reporting.
⛳ Where McIlroy actually stands this season:
Instead of leaving the U.S. golf scene altogether, McIlroy has already signaled a focus on the DP World Tour (Europe) for parts of his schedule and will start his 2026 season overseas, while still engaging in major global events and key tournaments that matter for his career.
