Angry Rory McIlroy snatches phone from a fan at Sawgrass

After a fan heckled the golf star ahead of the Players Championship, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Isnt the guy filming this on a phone too ....haha

Well, that’s one way to make sure you have at least one fan following your round. 😂

Dude should know better. He’s a top college player and should be familiar with the rules of attending professional tournaments. He later realized his mistake and sent apology letters to the Tourney, McIlroy and his school. Maybe cut back on the refreshments if you can’t handle em.

Pretty easy to point out the people in the comments who were spoiled brats as kids 🤣

Um… he probably just did it for shock factor and then gave the phone to an official at the tournament 🤷🏻‍♀️

When we attended the Masters they took our phone and kept it till we left the course. The guy knew better….I don't feel sorry for him at all. Follow the rules!!!

So where’s the beginning of the video … the part where he gets harassed by that Scottie Scheffler fan? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I went to The Players in 08 and no cell phones were allowed. Had to leave it in the car.

When did heckling a golfer ever become a thing. Rory should have deposited this guys phone on the next water hole.

[teddyzamba]

Why did this idiot give him his phone; like taking candy away from a baby...

[williamfritz]

Anger management definitely needed here.

[MilesP]

In Florida that’s robbery which is a felony.

[geos]

He got heckled so he went and took someones phone. Then the dude who heckled him is getting in trouble?

Rory has a bad habit of throwing fits and acting like a toddler. Everyone is human but Rory is an entitled one.

[lnr]

That's called stealing where I come from. Get security.

[johnduquette]

Wow, I didn’t realize professional golfers are above the law. You could literally just walk up and steal somebody’s phone. Must be nice. I don’t care what he did, you get the proper authorities to handle it. You are a golfer. Not a proper authorities.

Rory is on the verge of snapping. Something has him stressed out. I bet it is that wife he almost divorced.

[Gideon_Clarke]

Rory is the Kevin Durant of golf. Such a sensitive, sad baby boy. It's those qualities that got him used as a human meat shield for Jay Monahan and the PGA. Lol, what a beta.

[vertstang]

Rory wouldn't have finished that tournament if he tried to take my phone, and he wouldn't be playing in the next several months either.

[gowiththeflow]

Not a Rory fan…Now? Even less of a Rory fan. 🤷🏻‍♂️
