A lightning strike at a PGA Tour Championship Saturday injured at least six people.

The lightning reportedly sent a bunch of debris flying, and that struck at least six people ... one of whom was reportedly a child. Nobody was hit by the thunder bolt itself, and thankfully ... no one is said to have suffered life-threatening injuries. Terrifying, nonetheless.

Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter to treat the victims, and the scene couldn't have been more chaotic with folks lying out, waiting for help ... and being carried away on stretchers. Eyewitnesses on the ground say the moment sounded like a bomb going off on the course ... and you can see why.

MariaLeaf I always heard that it was dangerous to play golf (holding the metal shaft of a club) during a thunder storm, but I didn't think you could get shocked just standing in a field with no club. So sad.

Arresting 77 Nigerians and you think Amadioah will keep quite, eh ti ri nka nka.

Just had to go to the PGA to get struck by lightning couldn't watch it on tv nope just had to go ijs

I just heard this on the radio about an hour ago!

I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff will come down for a while.
