Just to be clear, we're talking about computer hackers, not bad golfers. And they've broken into servers at the PGA of America, locking up marketing materials for the this week's PGA Championship and the upcoming Ryder Cup in France, according to a BBC report.

Possibly envious duffers, the hackers have locked up the PGA computers with ransomware, the software that encrypts computer files until a payment is made. No surprise, the hackers have asked for a payment in bitcoin, according to Golfweek. The publication didn't specify the amount being requested.
