Tyrrell Hatton has always been known for, let’s say his fiery behavior on the golf course. He’s not one to hold back language or gestures when he’s out playing on Tour, sometimes to his detriment, but this week at the Ryder Cup is an opportunity where that emotion can be an ally.
While meeting with the media ahead of the 44th playing of the biennial bash between the United States and Europe, Hatton was asked who would win a swear-off, him or Jon Rahm.
“I think I would probably win in a swear-off. I’ve got everyone covered when it comes to that,” he said.

When asked about his extensive repertoire and carefree attitude toward expletives, Hatton said, “Yeah. Just any time of day, anywhere. No holding back. Doesn’t matter what we’re doing. I’m swearing.”
And after a brief moment, “F*** off.”
The media center erupted in laughter as the European team member left the microphone.
Who’d win in a swear off between @TyrrellHatton & @JonRahmpga?
“I think I’d probably win a swear off… I’ve got everyone covered. Anytime of day, anywhere. Doesn’t matter what we’re doing, I’m swearing.”
Reporter: “What about now?”
