The alligators are out at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans.
The PGA Tour’s annual event in the Bayou is back after missing last year due to a COVID cancellation. There are some fans allowed on the grounds this week. And there’s plenty of alligators out and about.
Gators aren’t an unusual sight at golf courses on the south coast, as there have been numerous sightings of these four-legged fellows over the years — from big ones to territorial ones.
The ones that appeared at the Zurich Classic this week have officially added to the list of gator sightings at golf courses, a delight to us all watching from the comfort of our own homes.
It wouldn't be a Zurich Classic without a gator spotting, would it? https://t.co/WNzLUapZva pic.twitter.com/xQ1HlJGYFo

While this one isn’t as monstrous as some in the past, I do appreciate the lengths the golf course workers went to shoo this one off the fairway. The brooms are a great choice.

Another day at the Zurich Classic, another handful of gator sightings to tide us over until the next.
