Overview

• Reports indicate Rory McIlroy and wife Erica are relocating to their renovated home in Wentworth, with the Bethpage experience making the move easier and a potential reduction in PGA Tour appearances under consideration.
• Speaking in Japan, Collin Morikawa said his call for "absolute chaos" was about energy, not rudeness, acknowledged the atmosphere "probably crossed a line," and insisted he did not incite abusive behavior.
• Xander Schauffele noted "unsavoury" comments from spectators, and officials expanded security during play, including deploying police dogs near greens to control crowd behavior.
• PGA of America CEO Derek Sprague said fan conduct "crossed the line" and plans to email apologies to McIlroy, Erica and Team Europe, while President Don Rea drew criticism for initially downplaying complaints before later conceding misconduct.
• Calls for tighter fan conduct policies intensified, with ex-PGA chief Ted Bishop pointing to alcohol overconsumption and advocating enforceable codes and ejections, as public figures such as Tyron Woodley defended athletes’ right to protect themselves.
