RYDER CUP SHOCK: TEAM USA MERCH BLOWS UP INTO “RORY-GATE” Just weeks before the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, Team USA is facing a crisis that has nothing to do with golf swings, putting lines, or match-play strategy — but everything to do with fashion. In a twist so absurd it feels scripted, the team’s official $65 Ralph Lauren t-shirt — designed to embody American pride — has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Why?

Tiger Woods was in the Bahamas in November 2022 to compete in the Hero World Challenge, where he made a significant statement. “Greg [Norman] has to go,” he opined, suggesting that as a solution for LIV and the PGA Tour to co-exist.

And while no one was surprised to see names from the…

There was an air of despondency as this was the first time that a Masters champion from…
