Drone Crashed

IV Golf's use of drones has occasionally annoyed players and disrupted live action. The worst example of this came on Thursday in the third event of the season.

During LIV Golf Hong Kong, on the second hole, Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia was preparing to hit a putt while a drone captured live footage.

But things went horribly wrong when the drone operator lost track of where the unmanned craft was going. 

The drone then crashed hard into a tree as its tumble through the branches and leaves was broadcast to the public.

The crash was so loud that Garcia was forced to stop before his attempted putt as he was seen staring back at the wreck.

It's not the first time that drones have influenced or interrupted the play of golfers.
