Things got a little spicy at the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship in Connecticut yesterday. Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler were leading the tournament as they reached the 18th and final green of the Cromwell course when protesters suddenly burst from the crowd and rushed the green. Protests these days are a dime a dozen, but this group wasn’t shouting about “Genocide Joe” or freeing Palestine. These were six climate protesters representing our old friends at Extinction Rebellion. They began spreading a white powdery substance on the green which witnesses said produced the smell of fireworks in the air, but police quickly arrived, tackled them, placed them in handcuffs, and led them away. The protesters were shouting “No golf on a dead planet.” The game was only delayed for a few minutes, however. (CNN)
