• Speaking in Japan before the Baycurrent Classic, Collin Morikawa said his call for “absolute chaos” was about energy, not rudeness, and denied inciting abusive behavior.
• Morikawa acknowledged U.S. spectators “probably crossed the line,” noting golf’s close fan proximity and calling for clearer standards on what is appropriate.
• Xander Schauffele said “unsavoury” comments were heard and added he wished Team USA had played better to give home fans more to cheer.
• PGA of America CEO Derek Sprague said he would send a formal apology to Rory and Erica McIlroy and the European team, after officials increased on‑course security during the event.
• Ex‑PGA chief Ted Bishop condemned the conduct and pointed to alcohol and fan accountability measures under discussion, while reports of McIlroy reducing PGA Tour starts and spending more time in the UK remain unconfirmed.
