The DP World Tour shared an Instagram video showing how Koepka, McIlroy, and other golfers answered the question. The video was captioned:

"What is your bucket list sporting event you've never been to?🤔 #AmgenIrishOpen"

Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka said he’s never been to the Super Bowl, but he’d love to go. He would cheer for the Green Bay Packers if he ever attended the annual NFL Championship game.

On the other hand, Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy said he has never been to the World Cup Final and would love to attend it one day.

The video also featured other golf stars, including Shane Lowry, Luke Donald, Patrick Reed, and Adrian Meronk. Lowry would love to watch the British and Irish Lions play, while Donald would love to go to the Olympics, particularly to watch the 100m race.

Like Koepka, Reed said that he’s never been to the Super Bowl and would like to attend. However, he wouldn’t go unless his team, the Houston Texans, played in it.

“It’s going to be a tough task” - Rory McIlroy speaks on the upcoming Ryder Cup

During a press conference ahead of the Amgen Irish Open, Rory McIlroy was asked to share his thoughts on what it would be like to be on the winning team for the Ryder Cup this year. He acknowledged that winning won’t be an easy feat for Europe, especially because they will not be playing on home soil.

“We know it's going to be a tough task. There's a reason why every Ryder Cup for the last 10 years has [gone] to the home team. So we know it's going to be very tough, but I honestly think we have 12 guys and the captain and the vices and everyone else involved, we've got all the ingredients,” Rory McIlroy said.

“We just need to put them in the oven, and hopefully it all works out for us,” he added.

The World No. 2 golfer shared that he’s excited about the opportunity and challenge at Bethpage Black. He also added that should Europe win the Ryder Cup this year, 2025 would officially be the “best year” of his career.
