Sept. 22-28, 2025 Bethpage Black Course, Farmingdale, NY

You can’t keep Rory McIlroy out of the headlines.

The 2016 Ryder Cup had not even begun when McIlroy made his mark on Hazeltine National. Playing in a practice round with Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Andy Sullivan, the four-time Major Champion took aim at the pin on the 642-yard par five sixth hole. 

Without needing so much as a bounce, the ball found the bottom of the hole for a slam dunk eagle, sparking celebrations back down the fairway. 

Take a bow, Mr McIlroy.
