A group of six climate protesters disrupted the PGA Tour
Travellers Championship mid game in Cromwell, CT on Sunday.
The group spread red and white powder on the field
as pro golfer Scotty Scheffler played the 18th hole.
Scheffler walked away as Cromwell police quickly tackled and apprehended
the protesters.
The six protesters were members of activist group Extinction Rebellion,
who released a statement to news outlet AP saying golf
fans should understand their actions due to the sport's reliance
on good weather.
The arrests come days after climate protesters sprayed powder paint
onto Stonehenge.
Scottie Scheffler ultimately won the Travellers Championship.
