A special guest made an appearance on the golf course prior to the first round of LIV Golf Singapore at Sentosa Golf Club, Singapore. The giant monitor lizard made an entry to the golf course ahead of the first round at the Sentosa Golf Club.

Here's how fans reacted to the viral video:

"Brooks pet taking a pre round view of the course?"
"Even... Godzilla luvs LIV Golf ⛳️"
"If I was on liv and I saw that, I would go back to the PGA tour."
"That asteroid did not get all the dinosaurs."
"Plenty on Asia golf courses— they usually depart quickly to the nearest water hole"

This is not the first time a wildlife creature has intruded on a golf game. Even during the first round of the PGA Tour's Mexico Open, a swarm of bees interrupted the game for a bit, stunning players and spectators.

From swarms of bees to the likes of alligators, ducks, hawks, turtles, and squirrel seagulls, a lot of animal counters have been there during PGA Tour events in the past.

Golf is played in such an environment that nature sometimes plays a very important role in the result of the game. As the golf courses are full of greenery, trees, and lakes, it is natural for wild creatures to live there. Hence, it's not new to have a wild creature encounter during the game.

Last month, when Erik van Rooyen was on his way to hit a tee shot on the 17th in the final round of the Valspar Championship, a squirrel interrupted him.
