On Sunday, June 23, a group of protestors stormed into the TPC River Highlands during the Travelers Championship. This created a bit of chaos, but they were quickly caught by the police.
The trio of Scottie Scheffler, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia were on the 18th green at TPC River Highlands when the protestors from Extinction Rebellion interrupted the play. They were wearing similar T-shirts with the quote, "No golf on a dead planet." Besides, they were also carrying colored smoke and powder substances, which they sprayed on the course.
On Sunday, NUCLR Golf shared a video where the protestors were seen causing chaos during the final round of the Travelers Championship. The clip was originally posted by journalist Oliya Scootercaster.
