Zhang Earns Web.com Tour Card, But Will He Be Able To Use It?

The PGA Tour has issued a press release congratulating (among others) Xin Jun Zhang as one of the historic five to earn a Web.com Tour card from the new PGA Tour China Series.

When contacted by this website to find out of Zhang's six-month suspension by the China Golf Association for signing incorrect scorecards would be recognized when Zhang is eligible for his first Web.com event in late January, PGA Tour Executive Vice President Ty Votaw said the Tour would have no comment.

So to review: a player may be suspended for issues related to his behavior in competition, behavior which may have impacted his fellow competitors, and the PGA Tour still will not comment on possible discipline even after a partnering golf association (in that home of transparency, China!) released a letter announcing the suspension.

Amazing.
