Few moments in Ryder Cup history are as unforgettable— or as entertaining — as Boo Weekley’s performance at Valhalla in 2008. Playing in his first (and only) Ryder Cup, the Florida native brought his signature blend of swagger, grit, and southern charm to Team USA. But it wasn’t just his stellar play that turned heads—it was his viral moment on the first tee of Sunday Singles, where he famously rode his driver down the fairway like a bull, paying homage to Happy Gilmore and electrifying the crowd.
Weekley’s lighthearted antics were backed by serious game. He went 2-0-1 for the week, including a commanding 4 & 2 win over Oliver Wilson in singles play. More importantly, he embodied the passion and spirit that helped the U.S. reclaim the Ryder Cup with a 16.5–11.5 victory over Europe. To this day, fans still talk about Boo’s ride down the fairway—an iconic moment that captured the energy of Valhalla and cemented his place in Ryder Cup lore.
