“A miserable interaction” - 920k-followed YouTube influencer details his hilarious meeting with Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy had a hilarious interaction with Robby Berger from Bob Does Sports. The YouTube star, who has over 94 thousand followers, ran into the Northern Irishman at an Exxon Gas Station in Jupiter, Florida, and asked him to be a guest on the show.

However, the influencer was so stunned by McIlroy's spotting that he fumbled the ball. Instead of introducing himself and his show to the PGA Tour legend, he popped the question with no background out of anxiety.

Here's what Berger had to say about the viral interaction in Florida (via X @RobbyBerger):

"I saw him and immediately my brain just went to 'I'm gonna get him on Bob Does Sports.' Never occurred to me that maybe this guy has no f*****g idea what Bob Does Sports is. The guy is trying to win majors. Probably doesn't have time to watch three a**clowns see how many doughnuts they can eat in nine holes. I just rolled down the window and said, 'Hey Rory, would love to have you on the show sometime.' And he was like a deer in headlights...That was a miserable interaction and it's all self-inflicted."

When Berger asked McIlroy if he knew what Bob Does Sports is, he replied no. After the awkward conversation, the social media influencer told the TGL co-founder he was going to Publix to get a sandwich.

In closing, Berger meant to tell the ace golfer that he was grateful for his contribution to the sport but instead said he's thankful for all he has done for YouTube.
