The Ryder Cup is a biennial mens golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States. The 2023 Ryder Cup was held in Rome, Italy, and was won by Team Europe, who extended their home winning streak. However, the event was not without controversy. Here are some of the key incidents that occurred:

• Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlays caddie: After an incident on the 18th hole, Rory McIlroy confronted Team USA caddie Jim Bones Mackay in the carpark post-round. It is unclear what exactly happened, but McIlroy was caught on camera screaming at the caddie.

• Hat wave drama: Reports emerged that Cantlay was upset about not being paid for playing the Ryder Cup and decided not to wear a hat out of protest. This led to some confusion and amusement, but also gave the U.S. team some momentum going into the Sunday singles matches.

• U.S. teams performance: The U.S. team lost the Ryder Cup, and captain Zach Johnson was left to ponder what went wrong on the road. The teams failure was so total and absolute that it was difficult to pinpoint a single cause.

Despite these incidents, the Ryder Cup remains one of golfs most compelling events, with moments that captivate fans and players alike.
