"Screw the PGA Championship" - Fans criticize Quail Hollow for being closed to spectators on Monday amid heavy rains

The PGA Championship recently faced criticism from fans due to a decision made following unprecedented weather conditions. Due to heavy rain, the Professional Golfers' Association of America announced the full closure of Quail Hollow for Monday.

Although golfers were allowed to practice on the course, it was closed to spectators. The decision to limit the 2025 PGA Championship venue came after the possibility of thunderstorms. According to weather forecasts, rain and thunderstorms might continue on Tuesday.

From Wednesday, Quail Hollow is reportedly set to receive lower rainfall. During the main contest days, the weather is expected to improve at the PGA Championship venue, but a risk of thunderstorms remains. NUCLR Golf shared a post on their X (previously Twitter) announcing the decision by the PGA. Take a look:

"🚨☔️⛳️ #WASH OUT — PGA of America announces that Quail Hollow will be fully closed to spectators on Monday due to heavy rain. Tickets can be used on Tuesday or Wednesday."

Spectators with 2025 PGA Championship tickets have been offered flexible conditions. Championship+ ticket holders can use their tickets during Tuesday or Wednesday's practice rounds. On the other hand, parking passes for Monday will be allowed for the next two days. However, fans have been critical about the PGA's decision to close down Quail Hollow:

"Screw the PGA Championship! Screw this golf club!", someone said in the comments.

"Just gonna make the course & tournament even worse!", an X-user said.

"Its 2025 and we’re stuck watching puddles form? Total disappointment.", someone else said in the comments.

"I get safety comes first, but this is golf. You’d think they’d have better weather contingency plans in place by now. Come on!!", a fan questioned the PGA Championship's backup plans.

"Oh wonderful. Boring course + Wet conditions", someone commented.

"Imma protest", a fan exclaimed below the post on X.

This year's prestigious golf major is scheduled to take place from May 15 to 18, 2025.
