Donald Trump Responds as Rory McIlroy and Europe Taunt Him Over Ryder Cup Win
Donald Trump has responded after being taunted by Team Europe following the conclusion of the 2025 Ryder Cup.
On Sunday, it looked like a formality for Team Europe to win the Ryder Cup as they headed into the final day of action with a seven-point lead.
However, Team USA threatened to pull off a monumental comeback after Cameron Young, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and JJ Spaun all won their matches.
In the end, Shane Lowry sealed the deal for Team Europe after tying his match against Russell Henley, successfully retaining the Ryder Cup.

Tyrrell Hatton then tied with Collin Morikawa to seal a 15-13 victory for the Europeans.
During the aftermath, a video emerged on social media which showed Rory McIlroy and Team Europe taunting US President Trump inside the locker room at Bethpage Black.
They were heard chanting: "Are you watching, are you watching Donald Trump?"
In response, Trump, who is a huge golf fan and attended day one, wrote on his Truth Social account: "Yes, I'm watching. Congratulations!"

Piers Morgan also confirmed Trump's comment as he wrote on social media: "He was..." accompanied by two laughing emojis.
Speaking after the win, an emotional McIlroy said: "I’m extremely proud to be part of this team - of every single member, the vice-captains, the backroom support staff. This was an unbelievable collective effort.
"As soon as we won in Rome, we turned our attention to trying to do something many thought was impossible - not just win in America, but here in New York."
He added: "It’s been an amazing week. To hear the 'Ole Oles' in America, to achieve something people said couldn’t be done after Whistling Straits - the talk of decades of American dominance - we took that and let it fuel us."
In 2027, the Ryder Cup will take place at Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland, as Team Europe look to make it a hat-trick of wins.
