During his singles match at the Presidents Cup, world number one Scottie Scheffler confronted a spectator following repeated heckling. Scheffler, who ultimately secured a victory, addressed the incident after the match, noting that while crowd engagement is part of the game, the specific behavior he encountered crossed a line. He explicitly stated that there is "no real place" for that type of conduct in professional golf.
