Tony Finau being called a "phat a**" in hilarious heckling incident leaves his wife in shock

Tony Finau is one of the most prominent names on the PGA Tour and has nine professional wins to his name. His wife, Alayna Finau, is also quite active on social media, especially Instagram and TikTok.

Recently, the 35-year-old golfer had an unusual incident on the golf course during the 2025 Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass. Instagram accounts Handshakebets and back9boys shared a video on Instagram where they could be seen challenging people $5 for calling out and heckling Finau.

Alayna Finau shared this video on her Instagram story and wrote that Tony came home after the event and informed her that someone on the course heckled him during his round.

"Tony came home & said 'Someone on the course said my a** looked big.' Lol then someone tags me in this video on Tik Tok and I died."

Meanwhile, Finau missed the cut that week at the TPC Sawgrass as he carded +8 at the 2025 Players Championship. The six-time PGA Tour winner has had a disappointing start to the 2025 season so far, as he has missed three cuts in seven events with just one top-10 finish.
