PGA Tour Champions player Matt Gogel was handed a six-month suspension Wednesday for placing bets on PGA Tour competition.

In a statement, the PGA Tour said Gogel did not bet on tournaments in which he was a participant.


My thoughts-

The PGA Tour seems like a hypocrite with this they actually encourage gambling by the fans and sponsors gambling sites.

Example -


DraftKings: Recognized as the first official betting operator of the PGA Tour, offering great live hole-by-hole props and integration with real-time leaderboards.

BetMGM: Noted for deep matchup offerings and extensive major championship odds.

FanDuel & Fanatics: Popular alternatives providing robust same-game parlays and rewards programs tied to merchandise.

Sure, but this player also knows the rules and broke them.

Same way that if I were a stock broker, and had my wife purchase an IPO before it came to market that I had no inside knowledge of. It’s a known rule that I should get suspended for.
