Extinction Rebellion claimed responsibility.

"Golf, more than other events, is heavily reliant on good weather. Golf fans should therefore understand better than most the need for strong, immediate climate action."

There's a lot worse things they could say about golf in my opinion.

Ah, the good ole "let's mix climate and weather" strategy that is usually adopted by climate crisis deniers.

Yah, it's a weird statement because part of the problem with golf is their willingness to pour energy, water, fertilizer, poison, etc, into an unsuspecting environment to enable their sport, so it's an example of how the rich think they will buy their way out of climate crisis. Needed a stronger statement.

There was no sympathy whatsoever on display among the players or media, so they are not the audience anyway. The audience is us and the statement is be disruptive because you don't need friends like these.

They keep telling us that millennials are killing golf but it's still kicking pretty hard.
