Golf is a gentleman’s game and as a result it has very strict rules. This past week, Jim Furyk who was coming third in the FedEx Cup, and who wants to maintain his position in the top 5, so that he stands a chance to win the $10 million bonus, was eliminated from a tournament before it began – because he missed the warm-up, more social pro-am where professionals play with amateurs on the Wednesday. The PGA rules provide that if you miss a pro-am, you cannot play in the tournament and because he woke up late, he was disqualified from the entire event. It could end up having very severe financial consequences for him!
