Team USA is full of big personalities and these are four of the funniest moments from their win at the Presidents Cup.
No one beats Team USA at partying after a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup win.
Remember in 2021 when the Americans beat the Europeans at Whistling Straits? Those guys partied hard afterward.
When Team USA beat the Internationals 18.5 to 11.5, no one should have expected less from them to start the party immediately. It quickly began after Keegan Bradley earned the point to clinch the win.
Most of the time, people see the players as stoic, even-keel guys who do not let anything bother them. However, they let loose and show off their actual personalities when it comes to these team events, especially when they are victorious.
Fans enjoy rare moments from team events. They make professional athletes feel more relatable. It is hilarious when the guys get drunk and talk to the media.
This entire team was in rare form on Sunday after their big victory.
Here are the four funniest moments after Team USA won the Presidents Cup on Sunday.
4. Max Homa’s thirsty video bomb

Max Homa played in Team USA’s last match of the day. He defeated Mackenzie Hughes 2 & 1 to give the Americans their 18th point.
Golf Channel stopped the camera on Captain Jim Furyk during the trophy presentation. When they did, the world saw Homa chugging a beer behind him.
Fans went nuts about it because it was relatable.
Golf Channel tagged Homa in the post and captioned it with an American flag emoji.
Of course, the Twitter/ X king explained himself, commenting he was the “last guy on the course today and had to make up for lost time.”
The original post garnered over 1.7 million views and almost 5,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
3. Captain Jim Furyk, players, assistant captains troll
Jim Furyk does not seem like someone who would drop the F-bomb unless he needs to.
However, he chose to drop one before the Cup when Golfweek writer Adam Schupak asked his thoughts on American fans rooting for the Internationals to make the Presidents Cup more competitive.
When Schupak took the mic at the victory press conference on Sunday, Furyk was not the only one who took advantage of it.

“Jim, you won’t say it right now,” Schauffele said while laughing.
Furyk explained that he was never angry with Schupak, and the two got a chuckle out of it.
Even though Furyk and Schupak were okay after the article was published, his assistant captains still took the opportunity to criticize the reporter.
“After the first presser, when we came in, we did our pairings, and I walked out; I actually gave you a little fist bump, and two of my assistants told you to go F yourself. That was my favorite,” Furyk recalled.
If this interaction does not tell the fans how seriously Team USA takes the Presidents Cup, I’m not sure anything else will. Nonetheless, it produced a hilarious moment in the press conference that caused everyone to laugh.
2. “Tarps Off:” Kevin Kisner keeps promise with Max Homa

Max Homa and Kevin Kisner betted with each other on social media after they saw two Solheim Cup caddies take off their shirts when Team USA’s Allison Lee holed out from the fairway.
Kisner told the 33-year-old he would take off his shirt if he did the same at the Presidents Cup. Homa made it happen on the first hole Sunday as he holed out for an eagle.
Afterward, the six-time PGA Tour winner explained he saw Kisner going in the opposite direction.
“I looked back, and he was scampering down 9 fairway, trying to run away from me,” Homa said. “I don’t blame him.”
Kisner kept his promise, and cameras witnessed it all.
The excitement on both their faces was priceless. Homa could not stop smiling and patting Kisner’s stomach.
It was hilarious to watch.
Coming into this week, Homa explained that he set a few goals for himself.
“I had three checkmarks,” he said. “One was to win the Presidents Cup with these boys. Two was to have a great time. And three, to get Kis to take his shirt off. So I went three for three.”
Homa accomplished what he set out to do and, in the meantime, gave golf fans something hilarious to watch.
1. Kevin Kisner is the beer man for Team USA
At this point, calling Kevin Kisner a national treasure feels safe. He is the life of the party.
Reporters posted videos of him entering the media room with a red cooler stocked full of beer.
The moment gets better, though.
He did not just bring the beers but also passed them out to players in the middle of the press conference.
Kisner took his assistant captain role seriously and did not disappoint.
The guys were able to keep their buzz going and finish up the press conference on a light note.
It’s so funny to see them relax like they did with the media. They worked hard to beat the Internationals, so they should enjoy the victory as long as possible.
Team USA capped off their victorious Presidents Cup week with hilarious rare moments that only golf fans can appreciate.
