Rory McIlroy stars in HILARIOUS Ryder Cup Europe clip with Luke Donald

Rory McIlroy may have put the clubs away after a stunning 2022 campaign that saw him win both points races on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, but he is still winning off the course this month. 

Should McIlroy's golf career ever turn south, it's fair to say he can at least fall back on his acting career after yet another brilliant bit of theatrics here!

Earlier this week, McIlroy's equipment supplier TaylorMade posted a superb video of its players singing in a choir and led by Tiger Woods.

World No.1 McIlroy played a starring role as he faffed around trying to find the correct page to sing 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas'.

Woods led the line as conductor of the choir, and let's just say Tommy Fleetwood looked a complete natural. 

Several days later, McIlroy is back on set.

This time with the Ryder Cup Europe Instagram channel and 2023 European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald

The video followed the famous from door act from Love Actually, which no doubt many of you will have watched. 

"Luke Actually", Ryder Cup Europe captioned its latest video. 

Over to you Luke and Rory... 

"Who is it?" shouts McIlroy's wife Erica as the Ulsterman opens the door.

"It's carol singers," replies McIlroy, doing as captain Donald says on his first card. 

The remaining cards read as follows: 

With any luck by this time next year.
I will be a winning Ryder Cup captain. 
[holds picture of him lifting the trophy]
But for now let me say. 
Without hope or agenda, 
Just because it's Christmas - 
(And we tell the truth at Christmas)
To me you are almost perfect. 
And the only way I could love you any more.
Would be if you play like this guy at the Ryder Cup in Rome...

Merry Christmas.

McIlroy then says: "I'll try my best captain" before giving Donald a hug and wishing him Merry Christmas.

Here's the original for reference: 

 

Donald recently spoke about how he is "trying not to think" about the crunch LIV Golf hearing that will determine whether or not certain players can compete in the biennial contest between Europe and United States in Rome, Italy, at the end of September 2023. 

USA ran out a record 19-9 success against Europe at Whistling Straits in 2021. 

This time around Donald will have as many as six captain's picks when he builds his 12-man side.

It marks an increase from the three players that Padraig Harrington was permitted, which forced him to make the then controversial decision to omit Justin Rose from the side.

The former World No. 1 will also have the top three players available from the world points list.

Qualifying for the 2023 Ryder Cup began at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in September.

Donald of course was giving the reigns to captain the 2023 European side after Henrik Stenson was sacked following his controversial move to LIV Golf.
