"Not sure how this makes any sense."

Jason Sobel gets a confirmation that Tiger Woods has not been suspended for conduct unbecoming, and that in itself is news he's having trouble digesting.

On Tuesday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, I asked Finchem whether his recent denial toward any suspension for Woods opens a new precedent in which he will now comment on player disciplinary action.

"I have on occasion [discussed suspensions] when there is a report in the press that misstates [the facts]. In this case, there was a report that he had been suspended, so I just clarified that," he said. "When I got the question Sunday, I said that I answered that two months ago and that was the reason that I did."

So, if there's a report that a player is suspended and it's untrue, the PGA Tour likely will issue a denial. But if there's a correct report in regard to a suspension, the PGA Tour will issue a swift "No comment."

Not sure how this makes any sense. In a game in which players call penalties on themselves, the commissioner should admit that the status quo is outdated and ineffective.
