Six protestors stormed the 18th green at the Travelers Championship on Sunday, delaying play for nearly 30 minutes. The protestors, who were carrying signs and chanting slogans, were quickly removed by security.
The incident occurred during the final round of the tournament, as players were preparing to tee off on the 18th hole. The protestors entered the green from the gallery and began chanting “Climate justice now!” and “No more fossil fuels!”
Tournament officials said the protestors were removed from the green without incident and that there were no arrests. The tournament resumed after a brief delay.
