Golf pro Scottie Scheffler deleted his Venmo account over unwanted activity. Should you?

Much like a golf course, Venmo can bring some unexpected twists and turns. 

The popular payment app enables anyone on the platform to send requests and payments to Venmo accounts listed as public — a default setting that opened up a can of worms for the world's top golfer, Scottie Scheffler.

Scheffler, 28, who is competing in the U.S. Open this week, said Tuesday that he deleted the app after receiving a string of unwanted financial requests and payments from strangers betting on his performance.
