Rory McIlroy played a crucial role in Team Europe’s triumph over Team USA at the 2025 Ryder Cup, securing three and a half points at Bethpage Black. After Shane Lowry’s putt sealed the victory, McIlroy shared a touching moment with his wife, Erica Stoll, reflecting on their successful year.
In 2025, McIlroy achieved a career grand slam by winning the Masters shortly after claiming the Players Championship. Starting the season with a victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am alongside Tommy Fleetwood, McIlroy displayed early signs of his upcoming achievements.
Despite a slight setback in losing to Scottie Scheffler in the Sunday singles, McIlroy now boasts six Ryder Cup wins, cementing his status as one of Europe’s most accomplished players. During the post-match press conference, McIlroy discussed his approach to handling pressure and staying focused during critical moments on the course.
While acknowledging his fatigue in the final match against Scheffler, McIlroy maintained his competitive spirit. The tournament had its challenges for McIlroy and Stoll, with an unfortunate incident involving a fan throwing a drink at Stoll, causing distress. However, McIlroy praised Stoll’s resilience and expressed gratitude for her handling of the situation.
In a positive development, Sky reduced the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for viewers to enjoy live coverage of all three days of the 2025 Ryder Cup, including extended programming.
