Controversial YouTuber Jack Doherty barred from PGA Tour events after Phoenix Open disruption
"The WM Phoenix Open is a bucket-list event with one of the most unique fan experiences in all of sport, a tour spokesperson said. The PGA Tour and the Thunderbirds are committed to protecting the integrity of the competition and providing an exceptional experience for all fans. Disruptive fan behavior will not be tolerated and anyone violating the Fan Code of Conduct is subject to immediate ejection. We appreciate the swift action of tournament security and local law enforcement to identify and address disruptive behavior."
"Doherty, a 22-year-old streamer known for filming confrontational public pranks, with titles including I crashed into a cop car and I got banned from Disney, has amassed an enormous online following thanks to his high-energy stunt and reaction livestreams, content that platform algorithms often amplify because it generates strong engagement through confrontation and unpredictability. He was removed from the tournament grounds after appearing to encourage a spectator to shout as Mackenzie Hughes attempted to play out of a bunker, according to online videos."
