Monday 31st of January
31st Jan - 6th of Feb
The US PGA Championship is the last major tournament of this season and the WGA Tour takes this opportunity to present an interesting new format where the course set up for the final round will not be revealed until just before the final round starts. The aim here is to test the players ability to adapt to unknown course conditions within a very short time, it's kind of like waking up and seeing what's the weather when you're on the way to the course !
We're also introducing new prizes and increase the value of the pay out this week so we hope that will provide extra incentive for everyone to strive and play their best. Also a reminder that this is the 2nd last event for the regular season and there will be 2 special playoff tournaments to follow before the end of season's Tour Championship.

PLAYERS SUSPENDED FOR THE US PGA CHAMPIONSHIP THIS WEEK -
In view of the recent case of disqualification, I've decided to impose a 1 tournament suspension to the 2 players involved: bombur & ernipagni. This suspension is in effect immediately and it means they both won't be allowed to participate in this week's major tournament - The US PGA Championship.
I'd like to point out that the penalty for similar case in the future will be much more severe, keep in mind that a player could possibly be banned for the entire Tour !
