The LPGA has worked for years to make women’s golf more exciting to watch. By 2026, their efforts paid off: every round of every tournament was broadcast live, there were 50% more cameras, three times as many microphones, and drones flew over the fairways. The tour set up equipment all over El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana and focused on the world’s top players.
But no one expected a coyote to have its own plans for the microphone. At the JM Eagle LA Championship on Sunday, a coyote wandered onto the green, looked at a broadcast microphone, grabbed the fuzzy windscreen by its cable, and carried it away across the grass. The LPGA’s official account shared the 15-second video at 5:07 AM with a caption that fit the moment perfectly: “Um…guys… a coyote just tried to take a mic home with him.” Um…guys… a coyote just tried to take a mic home with him pic.twitter.com/aVZNX4nrS4 — LPGA (@LPGA) April 19, 2026
