Cam Smith Facing Fine Threat For Ever Calling Out Patrick Reed Again?
/
The PGA Tour does not comment on any fine situations as we all know, and Cameron Smith might get fined for commenting on whether he was fined or threatened to be fined for calling out Patrick Reed’s Hero World Challenge lie improvement fiasco.
So the recent Sony Open winner wisely took a rain check when Golf Digest’s Brian Wacker checked in post-Sony and asked if he had been threatened with future fines for discussing Reed’s antics.
The comments caused a stir, on social media and beyond. According to a source, an official from the PGA Tour spoke to Smith about the remarks, essentially issuing a warning that he would be fined in the future if he made similar statements. The tour, through a spokesperson, said it does not comment about disciplinary matters, though the player handbook does include a section with language that states a player can face sanctions for public attacks on fellow players. Smith, for his part, would not comment on the Reed matter, preferring to move on and put it behind him.
You know what they about the cover-ups and crimes…
At least Smith was not fined since it appears he was merely issued a warning. A fine for him, but not for Reed, would be scandalous.
