We don’t really know how all PGA Tour golfers feel about gambling on professional sports. (Well, outside of comments made about Phil Mickelson trying to bet on the 2012 Ryder Cup, that is.) 

But the world No. 2 and No. 3 golfers, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, did discuss the matter of sports betting at golf events this week and both said there needs to be more rules in place to keep bettors at events from trying to impact the outcome by yelling at golfers mid-play.

“I feel like we hear it every single round,” the Spaniard said on Tuesday ahead of the 2023 Tour Championship, via The Guardian. “I think the Tour maybe should look into it because you don’t want it to get out of hand, right?”

McIlroy agrees. “We have talked about this at the board and the [player advisory council] level for a few years,” he said Wednesday. “And it is a bit of a slippery slope because I don’t think there’s any – maybe basketball and you can sit courtside – but I think it’s a different environment where people can really affect the play out here.”
