Pro reveals fineable offenses on PGA Tour, including slow play and divoting negligence.

Pro golfer Brandel Chamblee highlighted a litany of on-course habits by players that can result in hefty fines and penalties on the PGA Tour, ranging from the dubious to the downright bizarre. 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.

Pro goes through 4 caddies in 10 holes at Canadian Open

Rory McIlroy’s Canadian Open campaign has taken a bizarre turn, with the four-time major winner going through four caddies in just 10 holes of the opening round.

McIlroy began the day with his regular caddie, Harry Diamond, but after just five holes, Diamond left the course due to illness. McIlroy then played three holes with his coach, Michael Bannon, before switching to a local amateur caddie for the final two holes.

The constant caddy changes appeared to affect McIlroy’s game, as he struggled to an opening-round 76. He is now tied for 145th place, 12 shots behind early leader Justin Thomas.

McIlroy said after the round that he was “frustrated” by the situation, but he was hopeful that he could turn things around in the remaining three rounds.

However, a recent incident involving Scheffler has once again highlighted the need for the PGA Tour to find new ways to generate excitement. The tour has been struggling to keep up with the popularity of other sports, and Scheffler’s scandal has only made matters worse.
