**Hataoka Disqualified from ShopRite LPGA Classic**

In his latest show for Golf Channel, Chamblee insisted the PGA Tour is cracking down on poor conduct, and it includes slow play, which can incur a $5,000 fine. Damaging putting greens, whether leaving spike marks or carelessly replacing divots, can also lead to big bucks being deducted from a player’s hefty earnings.

A year later, no PGA Tour-PIF deal. Was it ever close? Is it coming soon?

A year after first surfacing, the proposed PGA Tour-PIF deal remains elusive, with sources casting doubt over whether an agreement was ever truly close.

Details of the proposed deal, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, have been closely guarded, but sources familiar with the negotiations suggest the financials were never fully fleshed out. The PIF was reportedly seeking a long-term commitment from the PGA Tour, including exclusive media rights, a request that was met with resistance.

The absence of a formal agreement has led to skepticism about the likelihood of a deal materializing, particularly in the wake of the recent LIV Golf controversy. The PIF is a major backer of LIV Golf, which has lured several top players away from the PGA Tour with lucrative contracts.

Report: Murray to keep OWGR until after Travelers

**Murray to Keep OWGR Ranking Until After Travelers**

According to a report by Golfweek, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) will not update its rankings until after the Travelers Championship, which is scheduled to be played from June 22-25. This means that world number one Scottie Scheffler will remain at the top of the rankings for at least another week, even if he does not play in the Travelers Championship.

The OWGR is a system that ranks the world’s top golfers based on their recent performances. The rankings are updated every week, but there are certain weeks when the rankings are not updated, such as the weeks of the major championships. The Travelers Championship is not a major championship, but it is a PGA Tour event, and it is one of the most prestigious events on the schedule.

**Tour pros playing for an extra prize these next 2 weeks**

Beginning with the Travelers Championship this week, and running through the following week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, all PGA Tour players will be competing for an additional $500,000 prize if they can win both events.

“We’re excited to offer this bonus to the players,” said Rocket Mortgage CEO Jay Farner. “We think it will add an extra level of excitement to these two great tournaments.”

The bonus is open to all PGA Tour members, regardless of their world ranking or FedEx Cup standing. The player who wins both events will receive the $500,000 bonus in addition to the winner’s share of the purse for each event.
