🌳 Rory McIlroy Complains About Missing Trees at PGA Venue
Share
📰 The Straight Shot:
Ahead of the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, Rory McIlroy and several other players questioned recent course changes that removed a large number of trees during renovations.
The restoration work was done to improve turf conditions and return the course to a more classic design, but some players felt the layout now looks too open compared to what they expected. Course designer Gil Hanse later defended the changes, explaining that the updates were intentional and part of the long-term vision for the course.
The debate quickly turned into another classic golf argument: tradition versus modernization.
😂 Golf Gags Take
Golfers love complaining about trees.
Too many trees? Problem.
Not enough trees? Also problem.
Honestly, if golfers ever played a course inside a forest,
someone would still say:
“Yeah but it’s missing the right kind of trees.”
🎯 The Punch
Golf may be the only sport where landscaping becomes breaking news.
