"Shut up!" Rory McIlroy reveals BIGGEST PET PEEVE with golf fans on PGA Tour!
Rory McIlroy explains what annoys him the most when it comes to golf fans on the PGA Tour.
Rory McIlroy has revealed his biggest pet peeve on the PGA Tour is when golf fans who have been sat by the green all day comment on the break, or lack of, a putt.
McIlroy, 34, was speaking to the media ahead of starting three strokes back of Scottie Scheffler at the Tour Championship as he goes in search of winning his fourth FedEx Cup at famed East Lake this week.

The record FedEx Cup holder was initially asked by a reporter what he made of a spectator shouting out in the middle of Max Homa's putting stroke at the BMW Championship last week.
This was allegedly due to the fan gambling, to which Homa called him a 'clown'.
Jon Rahm mentioned yesterday how he hears gambling interactions in the crowd "every round".
