Rory McIlroy praised wife Erica Stoll for how she handled being heckled throughout the 2025 Ryder Cup, including when she was struck by a beverage Saturday from the rowdy crowd at Bethpage Black.

The Northern Irishman — who was mercilessly taunted as he helped Team Europe to a 15-13 victory over Team USA — expressed his love to Stoll Sunday after their marital woes played out in the public eye last year.

“[Family] should be off limits, but obviously it wasn’t this week,” McIlroy said when asked about his family being heckled on the course. “Erica is fine. She is a very strong woman and 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.”
