Alleged ‘American’ Paid-For-Hire Fan Conspiracy Breaks Out At Presidents Cup

Presidents Cup Fanatic Conspiracy | Two Inches Short Twitter/@pgatour

A WILD conspiracy has broken out at the Presidents Cup and it has nothing to do with the golf being played inside the ropes.

Shane Ryan, author of “Slaying the Tiger: A Year Inside the Ropes on the New PGA Tour“, is in Melbourne covering the Presidents Cup for Golf Digest and happened to discover some disturbing info about the fans attending the event, particularly some of the “American” ones.

Turns out the group known as “The Fanatics,” which attend basically every Presidents Cup and are known for their antics, songs, and costumes, especially on the first tee, is an alleged paid-for-hire scheme!

Here’s the thread Ryan posted on Twitter before Day 2 from Royal Melbourne breaking down what he uncovered through sound, investigative reporting:

Controversies are nothing new at team events (see Patrick Reed) but this paid-for-hire fan conspiracy is next level. What the hell is happening down under?!

First, Ryan gets info on essentially actors portraying American fans and then runs into a group of people wearing American gear and waving flags who don’t speak any English?

Listen, if you want to root for the USA and you’re not from the USA, more power to you. There’s nothing wrong with that. We’re all about democracy. But seriously, what a wild situation this is!
