As the PGA Tour continues to expand its gaming footprint, a recent move to broaden the circuit’s integrity program has some questioning the initiative’s reach.
In this month’s “Greensheet” to players, the Tour announced a “broadening” of the program to include PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour players, and it appears the circuit’s expansion doesn’t stop there.
According to multiple sources, there is also a plan to include caddies in the integrity program, which features an online tutorial that must be completed by July 30.
The integrity program, according to the Tour, is designed "to maintain integrity and prevent and mitigate betting-related corruption in PGA Tour competitions – ensuring competitions always reflect, and appear to reflect, the best efforts of the players, while protecting the welfare of the players and others involved with the PGA Tour – through clear policies and regulations, ongoing education and training, and effective and consistent monitoring and enforcement functions.
