It\u2019s either AI or a horrible oversight.<\/p>\n

Team USA heads into the Ryder Cup as the butt of the joke thanks to official Ralph Lauren t-shirts that seem to resemble golfer Rory McIlroy.<\/p>\n

The Team Europe golfer from Northern Ireland couldn\u2019t help but laugh over the $65 piece of apparel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks a little more like Adam Scott to me than me, but yeah, it looks a little similar,\u201d McIlroy told Sky Sports. \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how he feels about Team USA wearing a shirt with his silhouette on the front, he joked, \u201cThat\u2019s OK, I won\u2019t mind that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The silhouette shows off what appears to be McIlroy\u2019s signature high-and-tight finish to his swing.<\/p>\n

The Americans will see plenty of it in person when the biennial tournament begins on Sept. 26 at at Bethpage Black Course <\/a>in Farmingdale, NY.<\/p>\n

Team USA will consist of<\/a> the world\u2019s No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler, with a supporting cast of Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, Justin Thomas, Ben Griffin, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns, among others.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Team Europe<\/a>, which won in 2023, will feature McIlroy, Justin Rose, Jon Rahm, and Viktor Hovland, among others.<\/p>\n

McIlroy is already preparing for what he believes will be a crowd rooting hard for the Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched a little bit of Novak Djokovic last night [in the U.S. Open quarterfinals] playing in his match against [American] Taylor Fritz,\u201d McIlroy told reporters last week. \u201cIt was a very pro-American crowd. He\u2019s been the best at handling that sort of \u2014 he\u2019s had to deal with it his whole life, whether it\u2019s playing against an American in New York or playing against Roger [Federer] or Rafa [Nadal].<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came and spoke to us a little bit about that stuff last time in Rome. So maybe taking a leaf out of his book and channeling that energy the right way, but again, all we can do is control our reaction and our emotions to it. I think the less we play into it, the better it is for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
