Team Europe spends £230K on Ryder Cup victory celebrations in New York

Team Europe celebrated their Ryder Cup victory in New York with a lavish party that reportedly cost around £230,000 on champagne and spirits. The celebrations included 120 bottles of Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial champagne, 60 bottles each of Moët MCIII and Moët Rose Champagne, £18,000 worth of Belvedere Vodka, and ten bottles of limited-edition Hennessy 250th Anniversary cognac, with players also offered a special Hennessy Richard Lunar New Year 2025 cognac. The festivities began with champagne spraying on the Bethpage Black course and continued on the bus ride back, where players were seen singing and drinking. Shane Lowry hinted at the intensity of the celebrations by admitting he might have a hangover the next day. The party was described as a way for the team, support staff, and families to enjoy the moment after a tense and historic victory on American soil. Post-match, the players humorously debated who would lead in "strokes gained off the course," highlighting their camaraderie and lighthearted mood following the win.
