Rory McIlroy was all emotional about Jon Rahm‘s inclusion at Bethpage. He strongly asserted that the Ryder Cup has to revisit the rules to have the Spaniard in the European squad. But his dialect had a different tone when asked whether he felt the same for Henrik Stenson. Stenson was the Ryder Cup captain before Luke Donald.
Rory McIlroy stated on social media that having the former captain gone is a blessing for the team. Although, to some extent, he was right because Donald made Europe win by 16.5–11.5, fans perceived this maneuver to be lowly and classless. Thus, several infuriated golf enthusiasts expressed their rage on social media.
Fans react agitated as Rory McIlroy censures former European Ryder Cup captain
A post from LIV Golf Nations has reshared the online banter between Rory McIlroy and Lou Stagner regarding Henrik Stenson. The caption said, “Rory McIlroy has absolutely no class. It’s also a good time to remind golf fans that Henrik Stenson has won a major championship more recently than Rory McIlroy.”

A fan talked about McIlroy’s class and called him a hypocrite on social media
Rory has zero class. Total hypocrite.

He was a classy guy when he was younger, but it’s been deteriorating rapidly over the last few years! I used to be a fan, I am no longer!

Thanks for highlighting this classless petty post by Rory. I’m guessing he must be looking to be the star of netflix again

You wouldn’t consider tweeting this if there was any prospect of him joining you.

Luke was the captain who won the RC. So they made everything right.
When Henrik decided to take easy cash it was clear that he can’t be the captain— Jörn Konopatzki (@DonKono) December 10, 2023
Truth hurts, Luke is a far better than Stenson would have been
