‘It’s terrifying, whatever it is’ – Massive alligator invades golf course before otter stops play at Florida tournament
THIS is the moment a massive alligator invades a golf course leaving Sky Sports presenters in shock.
During the second round of the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida, the scary reptile was seen by one of the ponds.
The alligator was on the edge of the water and was caught on Sky Sports cameras.
Presenter Bela Shah was not sure whether it was an alligator or a crocodile.
But she insisted that “it’s terrifying, whatever it is.”
The alligator was not the only animal that caught the attention of the tournament.
An otter was spotted on the green on the 13th hole, disrupting the players.
The commentators believed it was a River Otter and are “quite common” in the area.
It then shot away from the action and made its way through the bunker, leaving a tiny set of pawprints.
Viewers reacted to the otter’s appearance on the course on social media.

One posted: “That has to be the most considerate set of footprints left behind in a bunker. I want to adopt that otter already.”
A second wrote: “Just passing through haha.”
A third commented: “She’s had enough of this slow play.”
A fourth said: “Hell yeah. Otters are so cool.”
A fifth joked: “He or she otter know better.”
Another added: “Well… this otter could’ve at least raked the bunker.”
Squirrels were also spotted throughout the course.
It is not the first time golf has been interrupted by an alligator.
In March, Andrew Novak was stalked by one while playing on the PGA National Members course.
The following month, a baby alligator wandered across the fairway during the Zurich Open in New Orleans.
Meanwhile, Angel Yin is currently leading the tournament, having gone three under par in the second round.
She is trailed by the three South Korean stars An Na-rin, Choi He-yong and Amy Yang.
