Seeing an alligator on a golf course? Guaranteed it will make highlights in a televised tournament.

See a gator next to the green on the course during a PGA Tour Event, yep, the video will go viral.

Check out what happened when an alligator tried to move in on James Driscoll's golf ball during the Zurich Classic outside New Orleans.

That's when playing partner and Louisiana native John Peterson stepped in, grabbed a rake from the nearby sand trap and nudged the gator back into the green side lake.

Good TV, not something recommended for the kids at home and a highlight of the day.
