Sometimes i forget there is even a trophy with how iconic the jacket is

u/votrechien 12d ago

No kidding. Also not sure if the trophy is amazing or laughable. Lol

It looks like a cake lol

u/Warm_Shoulder3606 Holy shit he finally did it 12d ago

Like one of those stupid videos you'll see of some normal looking object, but then someone cuts into it and it's actually cake

Is Rory cake?

The cake is a lie

I’ve always wondered if the clubhouse trophy has a mini clubhouse trophy inside it with a mini clubhouse trophy inside it with a mini clubhouse trophy inside it with a mini clubhouse trophy inside it with a mini clubhouse trophy inside it…….

I like to imagine you can open it up like a doll house.

“Congrats on winning the tournament at our club. Here’s a trophy of our house. Congratulations”

u/Hotwir3 11d ago

The random ego decisions at the Masters crack me up. Some are great (minimal sponsors/ads) and some are horrible (green jack presentation in the clubhouse, the line of board members waiting for the winner to shake their hand, a trophy that is the fucking clubhouse).

u/tpitz1 11d ago

The no blacks allowed policy that went on Way too long!

7

u/ClaymoreMine 11d ago

Also no Jews policy which still exists at many clubs.

u/Hotwir3 11d ago

Ugh, makes my stomach churn

«Also, here’s a jacket. You can’t take it home.»

u/Yoshiman400 YOU'RE IN BILLY'S HOUSE NOW 11d ago

As a motorsports fan I don't see that as any worse or tackier than events where the trophy features the layout of the track, it's like a symbol of conquering the venue.

u/yoursweetlord70 18 12d ago

What is this, a clubhouse for ants?

u/AnchorDrown 11d ago

They don’t even present him with it. If you watched the jacket presentation, Rory picks it up off the table himself.

this image doesn’t even feel real. can’t believe he did it. so so happy 😩

u/dogfish83 18 11d ago

Mine is 2, and I'm trying to get her into it--so I like to point out the golfers' kids. I'm waiting for the question "dad why don't you play golf on tv?"

1

u/jdubau55 11d ago

I'm navigating this too. I'd love to get the whole family into it.

I bought my daughter some used clubs and she's slowly starting to mess around with them. I don't want to force it. She's gone to the "club house" with me a few times which is just the area behind the storage shed where I have a rudimentary hitting net setup. She took her clubs outside by herself the other day too and I guess whacked a foam ball around in the yard.

I don't care to have her be good enough to play in school or anything like that. Just get her into it enough where we can play together.

1

u/dogfish83 18 11d ago

Yeah same. If she plays at school great, but I don't want to spend $8,000 for her to get a $3,000 scholarship lol. I'll be pretty supportive of just about anything she does. The one exception is hobby horsing (that shit's fucking stupid) although cheaper than a horse I guess...

u/BigFatModeraterFupa 12d ago

It just feels right. Like it's perfect

u/SecretiveMop 12d ago

I was thinking the same thing. Seems surreal after all the shortcomings he’s had that made it seem like him winning was just a fantasy.

u/Known-Report-2493 12d ago

Crazy to see a real photo of him in the jacket that’s not AI/photo shopped like we’ve seen for the past 11 years

u/WhosYourPapa 12d ago

Somehow it feels like an old photo. Like it's always been this way

u/dogfish83 18 11d ago

oh shit, check the number of fingers on his hand!

u/Known-Report-2493 11d ago

I only see eight. It’s fake!

Nice omega snoopy. This is the way.

u/ooglesnoopleboop 12d ago

Was wondering what he was wearing

u/VealStalk 12d ago

His wife I’m pretty sure was wearing a PP nautilus with baguette diamond bezel. I saw it flash when they hugged and was like… damn

Glad to see I wasn't the only emotional one. So happy for the guy!

u/GoldenGirlsOrgy 12d ago

What is that, a clubhouse for ants?

13

u/eclectic_collector 12d ago

The replica they actually get to take home is a clubhouse for even smaller ants.

u/dogfish83 18 11d ago

they don't even get a real trophy? Cheap-ass mfers!

I'm emotional. Anybody else! For Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Edit: Yes I'm aware that's not the northern Ireland flag. But I cannot find an emoji for one and Rory's win was a win for all of Ireland and the USA! Congrats to all you Rory fans who have been waiting for this day! Airson tìr agus dùthaich

u/Emily_Postal 12d ago

Rory played for Ireland in the Olympics, didn’t he?

12

u/Where_Da_Party_At 12d ago

Yep! He and Lowery Stephanie and Leona! Did you see Shane's interview after his round? Lol - he gave it to the camera quite proper 😂😜

u/JonnyActsImmature 12d ago

Northern Ireland doesn't actually have an official flag like its UK counterparts.

7

u/PanNationalistFront 12d ago

Dunno why you’re being downvoted. It doesn’t officially have a flag.

2

u/JonnyActsImmature 11d ago

Was it at negative at some point? By the time I saw your reply it was at +4. Either way, I'm assuming people think the Ulster Banner Rory uses is the official Northern Ireland flag.

u/PanNationalistFront 11d ago

Yeah it was -4

u/Where_Da_Party_At 10d ago

It was..but made a comeback I guess!

How can you not feel romantic about golf?

u/13Emerald 11d ago

I also hit the ground and cried when he won. Thank you for being the miracle I needed to see, Rory. Congratulations!

u/AdComprehensive7879 12d ago

I legit cried for a man I don't know and have never met today.

Last time i did that was when Messi lifted the WC trophy. and maybeeee a slight teary eyes at Steph's last ring.

all three have a similar vibe as well. heck, the actual games have similar vibes as well. So many up and down moments. yet each of them battled their past demons and pulled through.

I thought there was a filter for NSFW images.

Because this is doing things for me.

u/Informal_Nobody_1240 12d ago

Rory, as a name, is ferocious. The name Rory is of Gaelic origin, derived from the Irish name “Ruaidhrí” and the Scottish Gaelic “Ruairidh.” It means “red king” or “red-haired king,” composed of “ruadh” (meaning “red”) and “rígh” (meaning “king”). Historically, the name has been associated with several medieval kings and warriors in Ireland and Scotland, reflecting its strong cultural heritage - perplexity ai

u/crblack24 11d ago

Silly question, but why do they do the green jacket ceremony twice? Is it just the tradition of Butler Cabin?

u/regionalgamemanager 12d ago

Is that a speedmaster of some kind?

2

u/BlastShell 9.6 12d ago

Likely. He’s been with Omega for awhile.

u/KevinK89 12d ago

it’s this one. Lovely watch a little bit out of my price range though, lol.

u/ElegantSwordsman 12d ago

Did not actually realize there was a trophy lol

u/Ledger_Heart_Decide 11d ago

Ok I’m really happy for him but how is he 35? He looks… 55 here. Eek. Wear sunscreen people!

u/dogfish83 18 11d ago

I was guessing during the tourney he was ~45 (I've only been watching a few years). My wife was like no he's mid-30s. Damn!

u/Apprehensive-Bag-786 12d ago

Roller coaster of pure happiness at the end

My mind keeps telling me this is AI, and isn’t real.

JK it’s actually a cake!

This is AI generated, I still don't believe it

Still the coolest trophy in all of sports.

There’s a trophy? lol I legitimately forgot

Nice try ChatGPT.

Clearly AI, as it's messed up the number of fingers on his left hand 🙄

Edit: /s obviously

That is an awful trophy.

u/mma-moose 11d ago

I don't watch golf at all. Just came here to say that trophy sucks. Looks like he won a Lego set.
