The Top 10 SHOCKING Moments From The 2025 Ryder Cup REVEALED!

A beer can flying through the air, narrowly missing Rory Maroyy’s head. A world number one going winless through two days of competition. A final putt left criminally short with the entire Rder Cup on the line. The 2025 Ryder Cup at Beth Paige Black wasn’t just a golf tournament. It was a 3-day circus of questionable choices, heated emotions, and moments that had fans all over the world shaking their heads in disbelief. The Rder Cup has always been golf’s most emotional stage. Normally, stoic pros roar, pump their fists, and sometimes even cry. Crowds abandon polite applause in favor of football style chanting. But the 2025 edition in New York, turned the volume up to 12. Beth Page Black, one of the most intimidating courses in America, became a theater of chaos. The New York crowd was relentless. The captains gambled, sometimes brilliantly, sometimes disastrously, and players who were expected to be heroes instead became the center of viral meltdowns. In this video, we’re counting down the top 10 craziest moments of the 2025 Ryder Cup. From tactical blunders to rulebook confusion, from fan behavior that crossed every line to heartbreaking missed opportunities, these are the incidents that define the event for all the wrong reasons. Let’s dive in. Number 10. Bryson leads off. Brand loses it. Keegan Bradley’s first move as US captain set the tone for chaos. When he announced that Bryson Deambo and Justin Thomas would lead off in forsomes, Jaws dropped. Alternate shot demands accuracy. Bryson is known for his power, not his precision. Then came Brandle Shambble’s explosion on live TV. The Golf Channel analyst launched into one of the most memorable rants in Ryder Cup history. He said Bryson is a captain’s nightmare. He shouted talking with fellow analysts and bashing his YouTube channel, saying it’s a bunch of bots watching. Brand Shambbley was not happy with Keegan’s decision, but he put him out first to set the tone. The team USA meant business. But golf has a way of making fools out of even its loudest critics. Bryson hit the driver great, birdied the first hole, making a 15-footer, and the Americans were on top to start. Bryson was on a mission to prove Brandall wrong and show American men business. The irony was delicious. Bradley’s bold choice looked crazy until it worked. Brle’s dismal remarks, meanwhile, became one of the most critical remarks that he’ll wish he wouldn’t have said. It set the tone for a Ryder Cup where every bold call risk humiliation or glory. Number nine, the Morawa English disaster. If Bradley’s first gamble worked, his second was a nightmare. Pairing Colin Moricara with Harris English in Forsom’s raised eyebrows. Morawa is a surgeon with his irons. English is streaky and aggressive. They had no chemistry and it showed. On Friday, they faced Rory Maroy and Tommy Fleetwood. The Americans were steamrolled 5-4, a blowout that wasn’t even close that was dominated by the Fleetwood Mac combo. They didn’t win a single hole. At one point, both players dumped shots into the same bunker. Commentators shook their heads. Fans groaned in disbelief. Most assumed Bradley wouldn’t risk them again. But on Saturday morning, unbelievably, he sent out the same pairing against the same opponents. The result, another blowout, this time three and two. Two mornings, two humiliations. When a reporter asked Captain Bradley about the pairing on Friday night, he also mentioned out of all the 132 pairings the American team could have put out in Forsoms on Saturday, Morawa and English were the worst radioactive matchup being 132nd out of 132. When Bradley was asked that, he responded with, “We have a plan and we’re sticking to it, but sometimes the plans need to change and that pairing could have been what cost them the Rder Cup.” Number eight, the New York crowd versus Shane Lowry. Beth Paige’s crowd was always going to be rowdy, but what they did to Shane Lowry crossed the line. From day one, the Irishman was a target. His stocky build, heavy accent, and exuberant celebrations made him an easy mark for hecklers. Overweight Shane, publicly golfer. At first, he smiled through it, but by Saturday, the comments turned vicious. During his four-ball match with Rory Mroy, as Lowry lined up a crucial 10-ft putt, one fan shouted profanity, clearly annoying Lowry, resetting, others were yelling horrible weight jokes. That was the breaking point. Maroy stormed toward the gallery, fingerpointed, shouting, “Show some effing respect. You want to act like children? Go to a effing playground. This is golf.” The stunned crowd fell silent. Security removed the offenders and cameras zoomed in on a furious Rory. Rory explained afterward, “I’ve heard banter. I can laugh at banter. But what Shane got wasn’t banter. It was bullying.” The incident drew comparisons to Brookline 99 when Colin Montgomery’s father walked off due to heckling. At Beth Page, Larry became the new Monty and Rory stepped in as his fiery protector. Number seven, the Rose Dambo incident. Saturday afternoon produced one of golf’s most heated moments ever. On the 15th hole, Bryson Dashambo and Justin Rose were lining their putts up on the green, respectively. While Rose was lining his putt up, Bryson’s caddy was helping Dash Shambo line his putt up with minimal room on the green. Rose had to get Bryson’s caddy to step aside cuz he was in his line of sight. Bryson, not being a fan of the situation, said something to Rose while he was walking off the green. And Rose’s partner, Tommy Fleetwood, had to try and calm the whole situation down as the Shambo was very fired up. And it didn’t help that Scottish Sheffller’s caddy Ted Scott was also getting into the heat of it with European assistant captain Franchesco Molinari as tensions were already high. But it was just a misunderstanding as Ted Scott and Franchesco Molinari would post a picture together the day after the incident. And when Rose was asked about the incident, he said, “Maybe I didn’t say it as politely as I could have said it in the moment, but by no means was there any disrespect or anything like that,” Rose said. But obviously, it was taken the wrong way when asked about when he will putt, but it all ended well after the incident. Number six, Scotty Sheffller’s 0 and4 nightmare. Scotty Sheffller arrived at Beth Page as the undisputed best player in the world. Multiple wins in 2025, including the Open and PGA Championship, made him America’s anchor. Instead, he became their weakest link. Friday morning, paired with Russell Henley, Sheffller lost 5-3 to Lvig Oberg and Matt Fitzpatrick. That afternoon with JJ Spain, they would lose their football match 3 and2 to John Ram and Seb Straer. But you would think the world number one would rebound, right? Well, you’d be wrong. Saturday was worse. In Morning Forsomes, Sheffller would team up again with friend Russell Henley. But unfortunately, they would lose to European duo Victor Hovland and Robert McIntyre one up, which put Team USA in a deep hole as Europe won three of four for some matches. But to make things worse in the Saturday balls, Sheffller would lose again to Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose 3 and two, who were a combined minus 11 through 15 holes of play. Sheffller could just not stop them despite being paired with Bryson Dashambo who was Team USA’s second best strokes game player. Analysts were stunned as this was the first time a player had gone 0 and4 in the Ryder Cup in four matches in a row since the modern era began in 1979. And you would not expect this from the world number one who had a year similar to prime Tiger Woods. Sheffller salvaged pride on Sunday with a one-up win over Rory Maroy. But by then the damage was done. His 0 and4 start became one of the biggest storylines of the week and one of the biggest collapses in Brighter Cup history. Number five, the envelope rule confusion. Sunday morning should have been all about anticipation. Instead, it was about envelopes. When Victor Hovland woke up with a bad neck, he couldn’t play his singles match against Harris English. That triggered the RDER Cup’s obscure envelope rule. Each captain secretly names one player before singles. If the other team has a player withdrawn, that name sits out and the match is halved. Nobody seemed to like it honestly, especially on the US team. Seeing how critical each half point is, already being down a large deficit. Word leaked Luke Donald had placed Victor Hovland in the envelope. Harris English was ready to go to deliver a point for the Americans in singles, but he would not be able to play. The match went down as a half point each in a Ryder Cup that ended 1513. That half was massive considering the comeback the Americans were trying to make on Sunday. The rule had only been used twice before in 1991 and 1993 where it did have some effect on the outcome. At Beth Page, it became central. Fans blasted it as the dumbest rule in golf. Even some US players admitted they had no idea it existed. Captain Keegan Bradley said the rule needed a change and it is something to consider when in the Solheim Cup. If a female player is injured, it counts as a fourth it and the automatic point for the opposing team. Number four, the Mroy drink incident. The ugliest moment of the Ryder Cup came late Saturday afternoon. Mroy, who’d been verbally abused by the New York crowd the whole morning in his match with Shane Lowry, talking about how bad they are at golf and how fat Shane is. The tipping point came when Rory’s wife Erica had a drink thrown on her from a fan. You could tell Rory and his wife had had enough. It’s one thing to say a smart remark to throw a player off his game. But when most of the crowd has had too many drinks and you’re exhausted from playing 36 holes on a grueling golf course, the last thing you want to see is your wife getting abused by the fans. But that’s what happened. Maroy acknowledged how embarrassing it was for the Americans about how bad their fan base was during the event and multiple players and former captains stood up and said the fan behavior needs to be corrected. Number three, Mroyy’s exploitivefueled redemption. Rory’s wife getting a drink thrown on her was chaos. But what was even better for Rory was silencing the New York crowd on whole 16 Saturday morning playing with Tommy Fleetwood. Rory had a gap wedge in his hand and was about to take the club back when one fan yelled profanity at Rory. But Rory made a statement after that. He looked directly at the fan and said, “Shut the f up.” and proceeded to hit the gap wedge to three feet, clenching the match against Harris English and Colin Morawa 3 and2. Rory loves the hate. It motivates him. And when asked by a reporter what it was like to hit that shot after being yelled at, he said it was very effing satisfying and criticized the American fans. The New York crowd was rowdy. But there is a point where you cross the line. And Rory acknowledged the American fans crossed the line this weekend. Number two, Beth Page Black’s surprising surrender. Beth Page Black has a reputation as one of the toughest courses in the world. Its famous warning sign of the first tea reads, “The black course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.” But in 2025, Beth Paige played like a resort course. The rough was trimmed short. The greens were kept slower than usual. Pin placements were generous. From the first matches on Friday, the birdie barrage was obvious. By the day’s end, the teams had combined for an absurd amount of birdies, more than were recorded in the entire 2009 US Opener. Beth Paige, by the end of the week, there were 412 birdies and 21 Eagles, both Rder Cup records. Paul Azinger said it best. I barely recognize this golf course. They’ve turned one of America’s toughest tests into a dart board. If the PGA of America hoped to favor US bombers, the plan backfired. Freed from fear, Europe went on the attack. John Ram racked up birdies. Tommy Fleetwood was great and Ludvig Oberg was hot. The Rough, which is what Beth Paige is known for, was non-existent. And Captain Bradley says he regrets trimming it down so low. Beth Paige, instead of being a beast, became a playground, and fans were left wondering why the venue’s legendary bite had been so deliberately removed. Number one, Russell Henley’s heartbreaking part. Three days of drama came down to Russell Henley on the 18th green. With the RDER Cup coming down to the last few matches, Henley faced Shane Lowry. Henley was one up going to the last hole after leaving the last punch short on 17. He was looking to redeem himself on 18. After hitting a bad drive in the bunker, Henley hit an incredible nine iron to about 15 feet for birdie which would have closed the match. But Shane Lowry from 118 hit a wedge inside of him on the same line. So Henley knew he had to make it to keep the Americans dreams alive. But after taking a lot of time to read the putt, Henley left a 15-footer short, which is one of the cardinal sins in golf with a match on the line. And the next part Lowry would make it to hand the cup back to Europe. Henley was stunned. The US team froze. The Europeans erupted. Dan Hicks call became immortal. Russell Henley has left the putt 1 in short. It was one of the most painful near misses in Ryder Cup history. Similar to Lancer’s miss 6footer in the war by the shore. One inch separated the Americans getting back into this thing with a fighting chance. That inch will haunt Henley for the rest of his career and will forever be replayed in Ryder Cup highlight reels. So, there you have it. The 10 craziest moments of the 2025 RDER Cup. From Brandle Shambble’s remarks to Russell Henley’s 1-in heartbreak, Beth Paige delivered chaos unlike anything golf has seen. The final score 15 to13 was fitting. The Europeans dominated the first two days and stopped an American comeback, but both endured moments that will be replayed for decades. It wasn’t always golf at its best, but it was golf at its most human. Fans have compared it to Brooklyn in 99, Madina in 2012, and Whistling Straits in 2021. Yet, Beth Paige may top them all for sheer unpredictability. It wasn’t just the score that made this cup legendary. It was a circus that surrounded it. There were tactical brundas like Bradley’s doomed loyalty to Morawa and English. There were shocking performances like Shaffler’s collapse. There were rules nobody understood, crowds across the line, and viral confrontations that blurred the line between golf and chaos. And yet, that’s what makes the RDER Cup special. It isn’t meant to be neat or polite. It’s raw, emotional, and occasionally absurd. It’s the only event in golf where one inch, one word, or one wild decision can change everything. Beth Paige gave us plenty of those moments. And whether you loved it or hated it, the 2025 Ryder Cup will go down as one of the most unforgettable in history. So, what do you think?
