Rory McIlroy wants to limit how much fans can drink at golf tournaments

  • Rory McIlroy expressed his belief that tour events should consider limiting the sale of alcohol after interactions with unruly fans during his win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational over the weekend.
  • Rambunctious fandom in golf has been somewhat on the rise over the past few years, with some tournaments embracing the cheers and jeers from the crowd to set themselves apart from golf's usually quiet moods.
  • Fans should be less of an issue in McIlroy's upcoming schedule, with the Masters Tournament just a few weeks away.

Rory McIlroy won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday, posting a remarkable -18 on the weekend to finish three strokes ahead of his closest competitor.

But while McIlroy was undoubtedly happy to end his 18-month drought of taking down a tournament, he didn't leave the event entirely pleased, having taken issue with some fans who got a bit too unruly, especially one fan who continued to yell out McIlroy's wife's name. McIlroy's solution to the issue? Keep fans less inebriated.
