Europe Ryder Cup party included 240 bottles of | Golf News

Team Europe reportedly celebrated their Ryder Cup victory in fashion, racking up a staggering €263,000 bar tab.

The staff, along with their help workers and relations, spent Sunday night in New York, reveling in their triumph.

Their celebration started on the Bethpage Black golf course, where they sprayed champagne after defeating the U.S. staff, and it seems the festivities continued effectively into the night time.

Video footage from the bus experience back from Bethpage confirmed a number of gamers having fun with drinks and singing along to music blaring from the audio system. Shane Lowry hinted at the extent of the celebrations when he admitted on social media that “I might have a hangover.”

The Sun studies that the staff splurged over €132,000 on 120 bottles of Moët and Chandon Brut Imperial champagne, each costing €1,100. An extra €84,600 was allegedly spent on 60 bottles each of Moët MCIII and Moët Rose Champagne.

They also reportedly shelled out €20,600 on Belvedere Vodka and more than €25,100 on ten bottles of limited-edition Hennessy 250th Anniversary cognac. The gamers had exclusive access to a particular Hennessy Richard Lunar New Year 2025 cognac, which retails for just under €17,100.

In a vigorous post-game press convention, the golfers engaged in a spirited debate about who would lead in strokes gained. “Sepp [Straka],” was the first identify Tyrrell Hatton threw into the ring, confidently predicting, “Sepp will stay undefeated.”

The Austrian golfer playfully shot back: “I don’t know, in Rome I was leaving for the airport and I still saw Tyrrell.” Shane Lowry chimed in with a self-deprecating comment: “People will think it’s me, but I’ll be gone early.”

Hatton reaffirmed his initial prediction: “Sepp, hands down.” Luke Donald added to the banter, saying, “We’ll have some fun.”

DON’T MISS

Lowry, who made the decisive putt that clinched the Ryder Cup on Sunday, opened up about the abuse European gamers confronted on the course. He admitted: “Yes, it was out of hand in the end over the week. Yesterday was pretty tame for me in the end, but two days with Rory, it is something we’ll probably sit down and laugh about this week.”

McIlroy, who had been subjected to fixed heckling from the crowds, even noticed his spouse Erica focused by a spectator who threw a plastic beer cup at her. The Northern Irish golfer said: “[Families] should be off-limits, but obviously it wasn’t this week,” McIlroy said.

“Erica is fine. She’s a very, very strong woman. You know, she handled everything this week with class and poise and dignity like she always has. I love her and we’re going to have a good time celebrating tonight. I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf,” he said. “I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week.

“Golf has the flexibility to unite people. Golf teaches you superb life classes. It teaches you etiquette. It teaches you how to play by the principles. It teaches you how to respect people. Sometimes this week we did not see that. So no, this shouldn’t be what is suitable in the Ryder Cup.”
