The chant "Is this a library?" was heard from European fans at the 2025 Ryder Cup held at Bethpage Black in New York. This chant was used by European supporters to mock the comparatively muted atmosphere created by the American fans at the event. The phrase implies that the crowd was too quiet, like one would expect in a library, which is unusual for a high-energy sporting event like the Ryder Cup. Golfers, including Shane Lowry, found this chant witty and humorous, and it gained attention during the matches. This chant does not relate to the term "library" in a literal sense but is rather a humorous commentary on crowd behavior at the Ryder Cup.
