Spieth Facing Sanctions?

[sixtysevensixtyseven]

Does anybody have any actual facts on this topic? Something other than the opinions of the TV talking heads?

 

He will not serve any suspension and he will get fined an undisclosed amount. That's all that will happen. It's actually a really simple situation but there's nothing to talk about this week so it is news.

[rockinar]

He's in a position where he is followed around by "yes men" who do everything but wipe his butt. The second he is fined, someone will hand him a check to cover it.

 

You dont think 22 year old Jordan is actually going to have to pay that fine out of his own pocket do you??

[stu_man]

If the rule calls for a "suspension" they should suspend him from an event he usually plays in, which will basically require him to add an event not on his schedule. Pop him out of Bay Hill and maybe he adds the Louisiana team event or whatever.

 

He's never played Bay Hill.. I don't think they gave him a sponsor exemption (he ended up qualifying by to top 10'ing, but skipped it) his rookie year and he hasn't forgotten.. plus, it doesn't work with his schedule because he likes to play all the Texas events.

Ok, then pop him out of the Texas Open, sorry for not knowing his schedule off the top of my head.

Ya'll are missing the point. Dude has a VIP free Chipotle card!

 

The rich just get richer.

 

Hello, Id like a bowl with white rice, actually, make that brown rice.

 

And some chicken

 

More chicken, please. No, not that much!

 

Ok, black beans, no, wait! Pinto, wait, black, no, pinto!

 

Dang it, Jordan, just get the dang order right.

 

Ok, a little green sauce, thats too much! Dang it.

 

Sour cream?

 

What you think Greller?

exquisite post!

Good guy. And who cares if he gets fined??? And speculation runs amuck again here on GolfWRX.

Suspension benefits NOBODY. How about the opposite. Make him play two more events next year.

[SilverBullets]

If they really wanted this rule to have teeth, they would add a minimum events played in the year prior rule to qualify for either all of the majors or the PGA Champ. Add some exemptions to that rule like it's not applicable for Past Champs, guys who missed time due to injury and sr. tour players. For the European tour guys, maybe the event minimum from the year applies for their euro tour events or something.

 

But being faced with missing a major or all the majors would certainly be an incentive to play more than minimum events. Guys would ensure they would leave no doubt about making the minimum instead of rolling the dice and missing it when they miss the Tour Champ.

[OldTomMorris]

Its been resolved but as usual with the PGA Tour everything is a secret.

None of the majors are ran by the pga tour. Players can be suspended from the tour and still compete in the majors if eligible. DJ can shoot booger sugar up his nose walking down 18 fairway at Bay Hill and still play in The Masters. Any “suspension” imposes by the pga tour has no affect on a player entering any of the majors as long as they are exempt for that event under their criteria.

Or make him play in any of these:

• Dos Equis Light Shootout
  
• Matamoros 4-Ball
  
• Yucátan Masters
  
• Juárez Masters
  
• Mexicali Scramble
  
• Reynosa Shamble
  
• Oaxaca 3 Tour Challenge
  
• Nuevo Laredo Shootout
  
• San Nicolas de los Garza Skins Game
  
• General Escobedo Invitational
  
• Coacalco de Berriozabal Modified Stableford
  
• Soledad de Graciano Sanchez Net Championship
  
• San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec Masters
  
• San José Open
  
• Cabo San Lucas Invt’l
  
• Todos Santos Cup
  
• Los Mochis Masters

Fine, then change the rule so it states for tour players to be eligible for the playoffs they must play 22 events prior to the playoffs commencing. Then they won't run into the issue of someone assuming they would get 25 events only to miss the final stage and play in 24.

Except they don’t have to play 25. All they have to play is 15 with one event being new to schedule in last 4 years. By forcing players to play 22 you’d eliminate all the Europeans and players playing multiple tours.

You would have the same exemptions still applying. So yeah, if a player plays a new event, they can play less events. But for the 25 tournaments in a year number, change it to being required to play 22 before the playoffs begin or you won't be eligible. And do the same with the 15 events + 1 new event on the schedule. Make it 12 events + 1 new event before the playoffs occur. If you get to the playoffs and you haven't fulfilled those minimum event figures then you are ineligible for the playoffs. The rules won't matter if there isn't something at stake behind them.

Because this is the sport in which "gentlemen" call penalties on themselves, lol....Spare me PGA Tour and your bullshtein secrecy. They do the same with drug cheats, bah!

 

I truly wonder if this is a legal issue since theyre independent contractors. They hated being taken to court by Vijay for the deer antler spray stuff so maybe they dont disclose to not soil the players rep which then would cost him potential sponsorship $ thus opening themselves up to litigation. maybe im overthinking it but tiger did a perp walk last year and they never announced sanctions against him which would be a no brainer

I said PED sanctions have always been public. Which is 100% accurate. Recreational drug sanctions were made public starting 2018 season

Ok. You think so?

 

So, nobody tested positive for PEDs in the history of the tour besides dear antler and whatever the little handful of minor things we have seen?

Multiple guys have failed for elevated levels of testosterone or taking hormone supplements. Patel failed for actual steroids use to try and speed up injury recovery. It’s easy to get around blood test let alone urine test. Just because guys haven’t failed test doesn’t mean they are all clean
