MacIntyre Posts AI Bird Flip After Masters Meltdown

Robert MacIntyre is unapologetic after his infamous middle finger moment at the 2026 Masters, posting an AI-generated image of a Masters gnome flipping the bird to his Instagram story. The image depicted MacIntyre in his Thursday outfit, the same day he lost his temper on the back nine, flipping off cameras, slamming clubs, and unleashing expletives after hitting the water twice on the 15th hole. MacIntyre finished the tournament 7-over par, missing the cut after rounds of 8-over and 1-under. He avoided media both days and was reportedly reprimanded by tournament officials. The Scottish world No. 8 has previously defended his fiery on-course behavior, saying he refuses to change how he reacts during competition.
