The Ryder Cup host has been fired due to insulting chants directed at McIlroy.

According to The Sun: The main figure behind the unpleasant shouting directed at Rory McIlroy during the Ryder Cup, Heather McMahon, has reportedly lost her job.

American actress and comedian Heather McMahon left her hosting position at the event after she shouted phrases like 'f*** off to Rory' on Saturday.

McMahon is reported to have apologized to McIlroy for creating a toxic atmosphere.

Despite the numerous insults, McIlroy and the European team achieved a remarkable advantage with a score of 11.5-4.5, preparing for the final day at Bethpage Black.

On-field conflict

Tension was noticeable during the fourball matches as McIlroy refused to take a shot twice in his victory alongside Shane Lowry over Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.

According to Sports Business Journal, 38-year-old McMahon has already left her hosting position.

Hosts at events like the Ryder Cup are typically expected to remain neutral and uphold sporting traditions.

PGA confirms that McMahon apologized to McIlroy for her actions.

Reaction to the game

The crowd's shouts affected McIlroy throughout the day. He stepped away from his shot twice on the sixth hole, enduring jeers that made him wait four minutes for the atmosphere to calm before he could play.

Eventually, he made par from 34 feet, and some offenders were removed from the event.

The European team captain Luke Donald blamed the crowd for a 'crossing line' as new video footage showed McMahon inciting shouts earlier that day.

McIlroy's wife, Erica Stall, was also insulted, being called a 'b****', and one fan even threw a drink at her.

McIlroy faced insults accusing him of 'playing like a wet noodle' and 'indecision'.

At one point, enduring the pressure of insults, McIlroy responded to the spectators, 'f*** off, shut up,' while winning with Tommy Fleetwood on the 16th hole.

This pair won 3&2 against Collin Morikawa and Harris English, maintaining their perfect reputation in the Ryder Cup.

Throughout the day, crowd management security was heightened, and large screens reminded attendees to maintain proper behavior.
