Rory McIlroy's Wife Erica Stoll Reduced to Tears After Drink Tossing Incident: Report

It's been a raucous Ryder Cup for golf legend Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica.

For starters, McIlroy unleashed an expletive when fans wouldn't quiet down, telling them to shut up. Then came reports that a fan threw a drink at McIlroy and his wife after the Saturday, September 27 play, causing McIlroy's wife Erica Stoll to break down in tears.

Things were getting ugly at the Ryder Cup as tensions escalated between the Irish golfer and fans.

A Video Appears to Show Rory McIlroy Wiping His Wife Erica's Hat

The report of the tossed drink came from Barstool Sports' Fore Play podcast.

"Apparently someone in the crowd threw a drink at Rory & his wife after the match today," the podcast's page posted on X.

“In the video Rory appears to be wiping her hat off & asking if she’s okay, then moves further away from the USA fans," it continued. “Another tough look for the fans today if true.”

However, some fans weren't in a sympathetic mood. "Let’s not overlook Rory flipping the fans off and cussing them out and getting fans kicked out. Tough look," responded one in the podcast's X comment thread.

"There is a long standing tradition of heckling during the Ryder Cup. But this would cross the line," another wrote, however. "If this is true. That’s too far period. Verbal abuse is what we need to stick too. And leave the Family out of it," added another.
