Navy top carries the slogan ‘USA Ryder Cup 2025’Social media erupted after item went on sale onlineThe United States has produced an early Ryder Cup faux pas after an official t-shirt appeared on sale, featuring a silhouette which bears an uncanny resemblance to Europe’s Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy suggested the golfer looks more like Adam Scott; which would actually be just as curious, given he is Australian. The PGA of America has been contacted for comment. Continue reading...
