PGA Tour player laments over bettors heckling

A member of the PGA Tour claims that during the BMW Championship's final round on Sunday, he was the target of heckling. The crimes took place at Olympia Fields Country Club outside of Chicago and were allegedly committed by bettors who seemed to be drunk. Golf fans have long placed friendly bets while on-site at PGA Tour competitions watching the greatest players in the world compete. However, the legalization of sports betting in the US has prompted worries about in-game betting and whether athletes may face more harassment in an effort to disrupt the game.
