There has been a lot of discussion about decorum at the 2025 Ryder Cup, or perhaps the lack of it at Bethpage Black. While golf has seemingly taken second position for the American team, drama has led the way.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has not played his best this weekend. He follows one of his predecessors, Tiger Woods, as not thriving in the Ryder Cup team element. However, Scheffler has always been a man of class and dignity, in whatever circumstances he faces (including when he was unjustly arrested trying to get to the Masters in 2024).
That’s why, as television viewers repeatedly say they are embarrassed about how the American team and fans are acting, Scheffler gives us a moment of respect and sportsmanship when the camera is not panned on him.
What Scottie Scheffler Did
Unbeknowst to him, the cameras spotted him hugging and congratulating his European peers on Saturday. Scheffler was present for the 15th hole mayhem on Saturday but never engaged in it.
Touch of class here from Scottie Scheffler as he catches Tommy and Justin’s attention (behind Luke Donald here) exchanges hugs and congratulates the two lads 👏

Scheffler is a good man. Bethpage spectators and his American teammates need to follow his lead with quiet class and dignity.
