Keith Bailey, CEO of DP World Tour, said: “Every action a person takes in life has consequences. And also in professional sports it is no different, especially when our friends choose to break the rules”.

“Many of the friends I’ve talked to over the past few weeks have said that these passers-by not take care of themselves and our tour. But they also ignore the performance-based ecosystem of professional golf.

Your actions were unfair to most of our friends and ruined the tour, so we took the steps announced today. ”
