TikTok influencer faces CRIMINAL charges for hitting golf ball in Grand Canyon
TikToker at the Grand Canyon
TikTok tops another brainless move. The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a site of great natural and architectural heritage. It is also home to 91 species of mammals, 58 types of reptiles, and 18 species of fish.
Therefore, when a TikToker tried to be careless at the Grand Canyon while shooting a video of herself hitting a golf ball into the mountainous rocks, it was immediately noticed by authorities who narrowed her down and pressed criminal charges.
Although the user later deleted the clip from her social media accounts, the damage was already done.
“Do we really need to say, ‘don’t hit golf balls into the Grand Canyon’?” officials said in a statement after the incident.
“On October 26, an individual posted a video to her personal TikTok page showing her hitting a golf ball and throwing a golf club into the canyon near Mather Point,” they added.
TikTok recently struck a deal with the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and The Open to bring exclusive player content, behind-the-scenes clips and tips
Social video internet company TikTok recently signed new content partnerships with the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the R&A coming into effect from The Open tournament that took place in St Andrews in July this year.
The deal gives the China-based global giant access to a plethora of exclusive content featuring some of golf’s mega stars, including behind-the-scenes clips and tips.
The #Golf talking point on TikTok is a massive one, having generated 27 billion views to date. “This partnership will give golf fans unique access to the game’s most iconic players and tournaments, while enabling the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Open Championships to grow and reach new audiences,” said TikTok executive Sanjit Sarkar.
“It’s amazing to see how golf is taking off on TikTok and we want to keep bringing our community the best content from the sport they love. We can’t wait to see the creative ways people get involved in an exciting summer of golf,” he added.
Looks like TikTok is here to stay!
