Team Europe’s victory at the Ryder Cup was undoubtedly led by the exceptional performances of golfers like Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Tyrell Hatton, and Tommy Fleetwood. However, when it came to the afterparty, a surprising player stole the show and earned the title of Most Valuable Player (MVP).
During a recent episode of GOLF’s Subpar Podcast, co-hosted by Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz, Jon Rahm humbly admitted that he was not the star of the post-win festivities. In fact, he jokingly referred to himself as the “Least Valuable Player” (LVP).
Despite his remarkable performance on the course, Rahm surprisingly felt that he let the team down during the afterparty celebrations. He anticipated that Shane Lowry, known for his love of celebrating with a few pints, would be the clear MVP. However, the honor went to Sepp Straka, a player who was not on many people’s radar.
Rahm expressed his surprise, saying, “Everybody told me Sepp Straka was the dark horse of the race. Apparently, Sepp can put some drinks down.” He even hinted that he may have had to leave the celebration earlier than he wanted to.
Colt Knost speculated that Straka’s impressive drinking ability may be attributed to his time at the University of Georgia, a renowned party school. Rahm playfully responded, “I think if it’s a drinking competition, the European team wins by a landslide.”
With the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup set to take place on Long Island, it could serve as the perfect opportunity to test Rahm’s claim of Team Europe’s dominance at the bar.
