Rory McIlroy angry about the crowd that disturbs the golfers during the game

We often witness when watching golf tournaments that many fans who are present at that match often ‘disrupt’ the golfers with their loud talking or certain shouts. The last situation happened at the BMW Championship when two fans shouted at Max Homa. They were kicked out after that. In an interview with the media, Rory McIlroy expressed his anger about such things, and believes that measures should be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future.

“As long as it’s policed the right way and as long as there’s measures put in place for hopefully things like what happened to Max Homa last Saturday not to happen, because look, we’re all for people out here having a good time and being able to put something on an outcome, but as long as they don’t feel like they can come here and influence that outcome, I think that’s important.”- he said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com

Jon Rahm reacts

Jon Rahm also emphasized that such things happen often. When you are close to the fans, you can hear a lot of things, and such things can really affect your game.

“That happens way more often than you guys may hear. I mean, it’s very, very present.

In golf, spectators are very close, and even if they’re not directly talking to you, they’re close enough to where if they say to their buddy, I bet you 10 bucks he’s going to miss it, you hear it.

So it happens more often than you think, yeah. But not only that, on the tee and down the fairway. I mean, luckily golf fans are pretty good for the most part and you’re hearing the positive, I got 20 bucks you make birdie here, things like that. But no, it’s more often than you think.”

It is not difficult to distract a golfer, and playing under such conditions is truly hard. Rahm calls on PGA Tour leaders to do something about it.

“I think the Tour maybe should look into it because you don’t want it to get out of hand, right? It’s very easy, very, very easy in golf if you want to affect somebody,” he continued.

“You’re so close, you can yell at the wrong time, and it’s very easy for that to happen.
