EXCLUSIVE: TYRRELL HATTON BREAKS SILENCE ON RORY MCILROY’S SHOCK RYDER CUP FINE COMMENTS
Rory McIlroy challenges Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to settle their $3m fines to secure their 2027 Ryder Cup spots.
Rory McIlroy isn’t mincing words—he wants Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton to show they care about the Ryder Cup by paying their DP World Tour fines.
Both Rahm and Hatton got hit with fines after jumping to LIV Golf. They appealed, so they haven’t actually paid anything yet. That appeal let them keep playing on the European circuit and take part in last year’s Ryder Cup. Europe ended up beating the U.S. in New York, so it all worked out, at least for now.
Still, the legal wrangling isn’t over. Rahm says he’s not planning to pay the fine, which he puts at around $3 million. If this drags on, it could mess with Rahm and Hatton’s chances of playing in the 2027 Ryder Cup.
McIlroy thinks there’s a simple fix: just pay up. He says that would prove the European players really do care about the Ryder Cup. Last year, they were quick to say they’d pay out of pocket for the honour of playing—unlike the Americans, who, for the first time, got paid to take part.
Before the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, McIlroy got asked if Rahm and Hatton should just pay their fines instead of waiting for the legal stuff to play out.
“Absolutely, yeah. Absolutely,” McIlroy said. “Look, this is just my opinion, but we really gave the Americans a hard time last year for wanting to get paid to play the Ryder Cup. We all said we’d pay to play. Now, two guys can actually prove it.”
Hatton, who’s paired with McIlroy for the first two rounds in Dubai, didn’t have much to add. He just said he’s always been proud to play on the DP World Tour and hopes he gets more Ryder Cups in the future. “Hopefully, the only thing that stops me is age or someone younger taking my spot,” he said.
As for the fines? “I don’t have an update,” Hatton said. “It’s still with the legal teams, and people are still talking it through. I haven’t really thought more about it. I’m just here to play golf, like always.”
Looking ahead, McIlroy, Rahm, Hatton, and the rest of the European squad want all this sorted before the 2027 Ryder Cup. That’s set for September 17-19 at Adare Manor in Ireland—the first time the tournament will be back on Irish soil in 20 years.
Europe’s aiming for three wins in a row. Since 1995, they’ve only lost four times, and every one of those defeats happened in the U.S.
HAMMER DROPPED: DILLON BROOKS SUSPENDED BY NBA AFTER HITTING 16TH TECHNICAL FOUL LIMIT
Dillon Brooks hits the 16-technical foul limit! Discover the cost of his suspension and how it affects the Phoenix Suns' season.
Dillon Brooks just picked up a one-game suspension from the NBA; his 16th technical foul of the season finally caught up with him. If you’ve followed Brooks at all, this probably doesn’t surprise you. The guy’s known for playing right up to the edge, stirring things up on the court, and, honestly, not backing down from anyone. This latest tech happened in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder, after a run-in with referee James Williams. That was all the NBA needed to drop the hammer.
The league released a pretty standard statement: “Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the 2025-26 season,” signed off by James Jones, who runs basketball ops for the Suns. Because of the suspension, Brooks will lose a chunk of change, $121,403, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
After the game, Brooks sounded tired of the whole thing. “I had a ref tell me that I play the victim, so I ain’t talking no more about that,” he told reporters. “Yeah. He said I’m playing victim all the time. And when I don’t play victim, I’m the bad guy.” When pressed, Brooks didn’t hold back. “If you’re going to be consistently bad, then be consistently bad throughout the whole game. Don’t try to fix it during the game. Don’t try to even out foul calls or whatever it may be. If you’re going to be bad, be bad the whole game.”
The NBA isn’t budging on this one. Brooks will sit out the Suns’ first game after the All-Star break. Hitting 16 technicals in a season triggers an automatic one-game suspension. And it doesn’t stop there; every two more technicals means another game on the bench, no pay.
Brooks is actually having a career year in Phoenix, averaging 21.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists, shooting 44.1% from the field, 34.3% from three, and 85.6% from the line. But now, with this suspension hanging over him, he’ll have to rein it in if he wants to stay on the court.
This season’s been wild with NBA suspensions, not just Brooks. The massive brawl between the Pistons and Hornets stands out. Four players got tossed and then suspended: Isaiah Stewart (aka Beef Stew) and Jalen Duren for Detroit, and Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate for Charlotte. Stewart got seven games for charging off the bench and into the fight. Duren, who just made his first All-Star team, got two games but will still play in the All-Star Game. Bridges and Diabate each got four games for “fighting and escalating the altercation”, per the league.
And that’s not all. Jaxson Hayes of the Lakers got suspended for a game after shoving a mascot. Yes, really. He apologised but still had to sit. Rudy Gobert picked up a one-game ban for racking up too many flagrant fouls. Dennis Schroder, back when he was with Sacramento, drew a three-game suspension for a post-game incident with Luka Donci, who he reportedly tried to take a swing at in the arena tunnel. Jose Alvarado and Mark Williams both got two games for fighting earlier in the year.
Then there’s Paul George, who got hit with a whopping 25-game suspension for violating the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program. That’s the longest one in recent memory.
As for who’s next in the technical foul race, Luka Doncic has 13, Stewart has 12, and Draymond Green sits at 11. If any of them hit 16, expect a similar one-game vacation from the league.
MVG MASTERCLASS: MICHAEL VAN GERWEN KNOCKS OUT LUKE LITTLER TO REACH ANTWERP FINAL TODAY
Michael van Gerwen is back! Read how he defeated Luke Littler in Antwerp to secure his second straight Premier League final.
Michael van Gerwen is looking like his old self again. He just knocked Luke Littler out of night two at Premier League Darts and did it in style.
Littler, who’s only 19, picked up his first win of the Premier League season on Thursday; he edged out his long-time rival Luke Humphries in a wild match in Antwerp. But that run didn’t last. In the semi-finals, he ran straight into a fired-up Van Gerwen.
Last year was rough for Van Gerwen, no way around it. But now? He’s come roaring back. He won the opening night in Newcastle and just added Littler’s name to his growing list of big wins.
Fans loved it. “That was a quality performance from Van Gerwen! “Back-to-back finals for MVG,” someone posted online. Another said, “If this version of Van Gerwen is here to stay, darts are going to be in a better place by the end of 2026!” The excitement kept rolling—"Darts is always better when MVG plays like this,” one fan wrote. And then: “He is so back. This is his year!” Someone else just put it simply: “MVG is so back, and you love to see it!”
Even on Sky Sports, Dan Dawson couldn’t help himself: “Michael van Gerwen is in back-to-back finals to start this year’s Premier League. The Green Machine sees off The Nuke.”
Littler’s stuck at just two points from the first two weeks, while Van Gerwen could walk away with two weekly wins already.
Now Van Gerwen waits to see if he’ll face Johnny Clayton or Gerwyn Price in the final in Belgium. Both Welshmen got there by beating Stephen Bunting and Gian van Veen.
Littler, on the other hand, really needs a deep run next Thursday in Glasgow to get his campaign back on track. Two points in two weeks just isn’t enough.
