Hatton Reveals Epic Party After Qualifying for the Ryder Cup: Vomit Included!

The golfer Tyrrell Hatton celebrated his qualification for the European Ryder Cup team with an “aggressive and messy” night of celebration that ended with him waking up covered in his own vomit. The Englishman vowed not to repeat the feat, but could not rule out similar scenes if they win at Bethpage, New York, later this month. Hatton, known for his colorful personality, revealed details about the celebrations after being questioned.

I had like six glasses of wine at dinner and then a double gin and tonic, I drank it at a very normal pace, and then [Jon Rahm] was deciding what he wanted and said ‘Disaronno sours’, and I said ‘Perfect, let’s go then’

Hatton continued detailing the night, mentioning how the cocktails turned into shots and how the night ended unexpectedly. After admitting he didn’t want to be in that state again, Hatton accepted that he has a history of overcelebrating, such as after the 2018 Ryder Cup in Paris, and that a first victory on American soil since 2012 could lead to a repeat. Hatton, a LIV Golf member, knew he would have limited opportunities to earn points for the Ryder Cup and thought he had missed the chance to automatically qualify after a final round of over 1 at The Open. However, nobody advanced enough to take him out of the top six, and his place was confirmed a month later, leading to wild celebrations. “Automatically qualifying for the team was one of my main goals for this year,” he added. “I knew that by entering the Dubai Desert Classic [in January] I was going to have that week and four majors –five events– to earn enough points to be automatic, and of my three previous Ryder Cups I always made the team automatically, I wanted to continue like that. I thought I’d blown that chance after the Sunday I had at The Open, but then [Luke Donald] called me on the Sunday night of the second FedEx event to say that the guys weren’t earning points in Atlanta [at the season-ending Tour Championship] and that I’d actually made the team automatically.”
