After first dismissing the poor fan behavior in the Ryder Cup and then seemingly doubling down with a social media post reiterating his views, the president of the PGA of America has issued an apology via an email to PGA of America members.
Don Rea, who in a BBC Sport interview Sunday at Bethpage Black ahead of the final-day singles competition downplayed the various weekend incidents as nothing more than what would occur at a youth soccer game, also said an apology has gone to Rory McIlroy and his wife, Erica, in the wake of extreme abuse directed at both during the competition, which was won by Europe 15–13.
