The Gallery Golf Club is being investigated by the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) after two rare cactuses were cut down as part of their preparation to host a LIV Golf event.
Last month, local resident Jerry Parker filmed a landscaping company cutting down two saguaro cactuses on the golf club's property to make room for temporary hospitality tents for the upcoming LIV event. "I was just taken back, I couldn't believe it happened," he said.
"There was no sense talking to the workers, they were trying to avoid me for sure, but it wasn't the workers. They were doing the job that someone told them to do. So the question is who and why."
