Amid Dark Clouds Surrounding Tiger Woods’ Ex-Caddie, Rory McIlroy’s Latest Confession Hints Towards an Ugly Update

The emotions during the three days of gameplay at Marco Simone have been soaring high. Not only the players but caddies as well haven’t been able to shy away from the competitive air of the Ryder Cup. The testament of this was clear when an argument broke out between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods‘ former caddy on Day 2. While many updates have come up since then regarding the same, the latest statement offers a “cold” take.

Things appeared to be out of control on the greens when Joe LaCava celebrated Patrick Cantlay‘s miraculous birdie putt on the 18th hole. It was because the action most likely annoyed the 4-time major winner, who had yet to strike the ball. Nonetheless, the data from NBC earlier provided some relief concerning these rising tensions between the two. But the new piece of information seems to pull at this strain once again.

Rory McIlroy denies an apology coming his way a day after the angry scuffle

Through a recent tweet on ‘X’, NUCLRGOLF highlighted Rory McIlroy’s comment on the recent scuffle that was witnessed yesterday off the course. McIlroy, in a rather cold tone, had simply commented, “I haven’t met Joe.”

Backtracking to the conversation that is referred to by the Northern Irishman, in a report by NBC earlier in the day, Joe LaCava, the former Caddie of Tiger Woods, had come to apologize to the golfer after an angry exchange post-game yesterday. Per the news, LaCava later in the evening reached out to McIlroy and his teammates in order to clear the air.

According to the sources, he had even come forward to apologize earlier in the morning today as well. However, in lieu of the new update, Rory McIlroy has denied meeting Patrick Cantlay’s Caddie about the unfortunate incident yesterday.

While the golfer has held a firm stance on the unknown source of the problem, even his interview reflected clear anger in his voice. Nonetheless, the comments surfacing today draw attention back to the scenes from yesterday and the victorious role played by McIlroy in Europe’s dominance.

Despite aggressive scenes off-field, Rory McIlroy brings major pride to Team Europe

On Day 2 of the tournament, after the pair of Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick lost in the four-ball to the duo of Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark, scenes off the course soon turned a little dark. In a viral video on X, McIlroy could be seen angrily shouting at some opponents, with Shane Lowry trying to ease out the situation.

While things fortunately did not escalate anymore, matters seem far from sorted, per reports. However, amidst all the attention grabbed by the off-field concerns, one dominant factor of appreciation remains regarding Rory McIlroy’s exhibition of controlled skills.

Over the course of three days, the golf star left everyone in awe with two victories on the first day and yet another dominant one on the second day. While his second pair appeared to lose track in the latter half of the game, his third-day performance surely left everyone stunned. Now, with Europe half a point away from grabbing the Ryder Cup title, all eyes remain set on the last four singles left.
