McIlroy: Time for Tour to limit alcohol sales on course

ORLANDO, Fla. Rory McIlroy suggested Saturday that the PGA Tour might need to consider curbing alcohol sales to stop some of the abusive fan behavior that has become more prevalent at events.McIlroy said that a fan repeatedly yelled his wifes name (Erica) during the third round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.I was going to go over and have a chat with him, McIlroy said. I think its gotten a little much, to be honest. I think they need to limit the alcohol sales on the course, or they need to do something, because every week it seems like guys are complaining about it more and more.

I know that people want to come and enjoy themselves, and Im all for that, but sometimes when the comments get personal and people get a little bit rowdy, it can get a little much.This isnt the first time that McIlroy has voiced concerns about fan behavior on Tour. Last month at Riviera, he said the rowdy spectators probably cost Tiger Woods a half-shot a round, and after two days in his featured group he had a splitting headache.A week later, at the Honda Classic, Justin Thomas had a fan removed late in the final round.McIlroy believes the issue is part of a larger problem, as more events try to replicate the success of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, which has one of the liveliest atmospheres on Tour.Its great for that tournament, its great for us, but golf is different than a football game, and theres etiquette involved and you dont want people to be put off from bringing their kids when people are shouting stuff out, he said. You want people to enjoy themselves, have a good day.As for a solution, well, McIlroy isnt quite sure.It used to be you bring beers onto the course or buy beers, but not liquor, he said. And now it seems like everyones walking around with a cocktail. I dont know whether (the solution) is to go back to letting people walking around with beers in their hands. Thats fine, but I dont know.
