So I'm guessing we don't see Cam on the tour again?

Based on his performance this year, he's already qualified for the final 30 in Atlanta in two weeks. He can skip this week, play in Atlanta for the FedEx championship, and then head off to the Saudi exhibition league.

However wins at East Lake will win the FedEx Cup so if Cam wins in Atlanta ...he's 18 million richer and can say Adios Amigos...a la mierda gilipollas... voy a pescar y ser golfista a tiempo parcial...while signing for 150 million LIV dollars!

Hip hurts from lugging around all that Saudi cash Norman is tossing at him.

I think he is done with the PGA after that penalty they gave him yesterday.

I’m guessing he plays Tour Championship and then peaces out

Didn't he say he was going to play the President's Cup?

As an Astros fan, the word “discomfort” is paralyzing because it might mean a few days rest or missing almost an entire season. I hope Cam competes in the championship in Atlanta and decides to stay on the PGA after playing in the presidents cup.

That fat wallet he now has in his back pocket is causing him hip trouble.

They didn’t “give” him a penalty. He earned. He took a bad drop. He should have known better.

It took the PGA officials nearly a day to "know better."

Did he break a rule or not?

I personally think there should be a statute of limitations on something like this. Maybe like 5 holes, or an hour and a half. If no penalty is given by the next 5 holes then no penalty. What if this happened on Sunday instead of Saturday?

Exactly, he’s about to play the tour , will be like Bubba with a hip injury after winning the FedEx cup and announcing 2023 LIV, will be the ultimate troll job.

Good! Can’t stand that stupid looking straight bill cap. He looks like a crack dealer.

The scoring is not complete until the player signs his scorecard. Up until that point it's just TV people keeping unofficial score.

Technically Cam signed a false scorecard and would have been DQ'd under the old rules. He actually caught a break with that change.

Funny thing is I read all this fan outrage about the penalty yet Cam took it in stride and accepted the ruling because he knows it's a rule and he screwed up.
