US commit Ryder Cup faux pas with 'McIlroy' shirt

The United States team has made 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. What on earth was wrong with Scottie Scheffler?

McIlroy is the leading name on the European roster to face the US at Bethpage on the final weekend of September.

Social media erupted after the item appeared on the US element of the official Ryder Cup shop. Costing $65 (£48), the navy Ralph Lauren T-shirt carries the slogan "USA Ryder Cup 2025". The golfer performing a follow through as the backdrop is almost certainly McIlroy albeit the Northern Irishman shrugged off the bizarre matter at Wentworth yesterday.
