<p>Several climate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/protesters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protesters</a> briefly disrupted the PGA Tour&#8217;s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, on Sunday.</p>
<p>Video posted to social media showed the demonstrators run onto the 18th green and release a red or white powdery substance as players watched.</p>
<p>The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/travelers-championship-intruders-18th-hole-police-bc3e9408e9417b8520fe866795761fe2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the event was delayed for about five minutes as police intervened and the crowd heckled the activists.</p>

<p>Images from the venue showed that some of the demonstrators wore a white shirt that read &#8220;NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET.&#8221;</p>
<p>A climate group called Extinction Rebellion took responsibility for the incident, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/sport/protesters-disrupt-travelers-championship/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> CNN.</p>
<p>Cromwell police said each protester was charged with first-degree criminal mischief, first-degree criminal trespass, and breach of peace.</p>
<p>ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40415755/pga-tour-travelers-delayed-protesters-storm-18th-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that the protesters were released on a bond of $5,000 and are scheduled to appear in court on July 1.</p>
<p>The PGA Tour <a href="https://www.courant.com/2024/06/23/final-round-at-travelers-championship-disrupted-by-climate-protesters-on-18th-green/#:~:text=The%20PGA%20Tour%20released%20a,damage%20to%20the%2018th%20green." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the powder was removed with no damage to the green and thanked Cromwell police for their &#8220;quick and decisive action.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.cbssports.com/golf/rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">First-ranked</a> golfer Scottie Scheffler, who ended up winning the event, said players were <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40415755/pga-tour-travelers-delayed-protesters-storm-18th-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;grateful&#8221;</a> that law enforcement responded so fast.</p>
<p>&#8220;When something like that happens, you don&#8217;t really know what&#8217;s happening, so it can kind of rattle you a little bit,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Scheffler added that he and a fellow golfer, Tom Kim, &#8220;both tried to calm each other down so we could give it our best shot there on 18.&#8221;</p>
<p>Akshay Bhatia, another participant in the championship, <a href="https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/40415755/pga-tour-travelers-delayed-protesters-storm-18th-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was &#8220;scared&#8221; for his life as he, too, did not know what was happening.</p>
<p>&#8220;But thankfully, the cops were there and kept us safe, because that&#8217;s, you know, that&#8217;s just weird stuff,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Climate activists have made headlines for vandalizing monuments, works of art, and more in places around the world.</p>
<p>Last week, protesters demonstrating against fossil fuels <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/climate-activists-vandalize-stonehenge-with-orange-paint" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spray-painted</a> Stonehenge in the United Kingdom with an orange substance.</p>
<p>Extinction Rebellion <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/sport/protesters-disrupt-travelers-championship/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement that the PGA protest was meant to highlight &#8220;the worldwide danger of climate breakdown.&#8221;</p>
<p>Noting golf is &#8220;heavily reliant on good weather,&#8221; the group said fans should &#8220;understand better than most the need for strong, immediate climate action.&#8221;</p>
