Rory McIlroy’s week at TPC Sawgrass took an unexpected turn Tuesday. When practicing for Thursday’s opening round of The Players Championship, a college golfer heckled the four-time major winner from behind the 18th tee box at the Ponte Vedra Beach,

While many are in agreement that the heckler — who later issued a public apology — was in the wrong for his part in the dispute, there is a sense that McIlroy should have handled things better.

Rory McIlroy has no interest in playing on the Champions tour down the road: "Something has went terribly wrong if I have to compete at golf at 50."
