‘It Kinda Hurts’: Veteran Pro Calls Out the PGA Tour After Painful Social Media Snub

The 55th edition of the RBC Heritage event is currently underway, with golfing heavyweights going head-to-head at the Hilton Head. This year, the 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm, reigning RBC Heritage champion Jordan Spieth, World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler, and more are a part of the highly competitive 143-player field.

As 42-year-old golfer, Justin Rose, made his start at the RBC Heritage on Thursday, the PGA Tour took to Twitter to celebrate his new feat. However, one PGA Tour golfer, in particular, was not amused by the tweet. The golfer was none other than Greg Chalmers, who let his frustrations known on the bird app!

PGA Tour snub irks Australian pro-golfer Greg Chalmers

As Justin Rose made his 400th start at Harbour Town, PGA Tour took to Twitter to celebrate the English golfer’s achievement. The 2013 U.S. Open champion Rose had a T16 finish at the Masters this year. While the PGA Tour congratulated Rose for his 400th appearance, calling it “consistent and pure,” fellow Australian golfer, Greg Chalmers couldn’t stop himself from calling them out.

Retweeting the video, Chalmers wrote that the Tour had missed out his 400th appearance a while back. The Australian golfer is not over the mishap, as he said that “it kinda hurts.” The 49-year-old Australian player is currently at 475 events on the PGA Tour.

The 2013 U.S. Open champion, Rose, had a good run at the Masters. He tied at T16 on Augusta, walking away with $324,000 in earnings. The English pro-golfer has also spent 13 weeks as World No. 1. His latest PGA Tour victory came in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his first since 2019.

On Thursday, Rose made his 400th start at the Hilton Head. The RBC Heritage has a packed field this year, with Jon Rahm appearing days after his thrilling Masters victory. Jordan Spieth also returns to Harbour Town to defend his last year’s victory. One key name that is missing from the action is Rory McIlroy, who is now expected to lose millions due to his RBC Heritage withdrawal. This comes as a blow to the World No. 3, who failed to make the cut at the Masters last week.
