Snake Delayed Golfer's Round At PGA Championship
- During the 2025 PGA Championship held in Charlotte, play on the 10th hole was briefly halted when a snake crossed the fairway, momentarily disrupting Shaun Micheel’s round.
- The incident occurred because the snake appeared to meander near Micheel's ball, prompting a tournament volunteer to step in and shoo it off the course.
- The snake’s presence was captured during live TV coverage as it moved near Micheel, who watched calmly while the volunteer nudged the snake into the rough despite it becoming agitated.
- During the incident, ESPN commentators remarked that neither Micheel nor the volunteer showed fear, while a fan described the situation as a sizable snake making its way across the fairway at the USPGA.
- The delay highlighted the added challenge wildlife can bring to the tournament, with earlier play also briefly interrupted by a turtle crossing the course.
