At the Cup, the Irishman got into a scrap with a few American caddies both on and off the course. Things got extremely heated, and McIlroy had to leave.It’s been a divisive incident, and the LIV Golf star’s wife has made her opinion clear. In a comment on Instagram, she said that she’d like to see someone hit McIlroy.
“I can’t possibly be the only one that would absolutely love to watch Rory get punched in the face. I mean that in the nicest way possible… kinda.”
There is a rivalry between McIlroy and anyone on the rebel tour. He’s been the biggest detractor and he’s called out many golfers by name. Mcllroy has not kept his feelings on the matter silent, and now, feelings about him are being revealed publicly.
Perez’s wife Ashley is very active on social media. In fact, it was her account that first broke the news of Perez’s defection to LIV Golf. Now, she’s commenting on McIlroy and she is none too pleased.
What happened with Rory McIlroy?
During the Saturday evening festivities at the Ryder Cup, Patrick Cantlay hit an impressive shot that seemed to give the Americans a lead and some points. They’d been roundly defeated thus far, and it was a key moment for them to potentially turn it around.
Their team erupted in celebration, with golfers and caddies joining in. Joe LaCava, an American caddie, was particularly happy. He was also in somewhat close proximity to Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy was upset by the situation as he was attempting to line up a shot that could have tied the game and earned half a point.
He snapped at LaCava, who advised him to calm down.
The conflict escalated, leading to the European team being unable to secure that point. Away from the green, Jim Bones Mackay, known for caddying for Phil Mickelson, also engaged in a scuffle with the Irish golfer. Eventually, Shane Lowry had to remove Rory McIlroy from the area to defuse the situation.
Team Europe used this incident as motivation and managed to secure a victory the next day. McIlroy only suffered one loss throughout the weekend.
