The PGA Championship 2025 event at Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, North Carolina, has just witnessed a big shock when the defending champion Xander Schauffele publicly requested the organizers to immediately remove two golfers from the tournament. According to Schauffele, these two golfers had blatant fraud in the first round that took place on May 15, seriously damaging the sporty spirit and prestige of the prestigious Major. Although the identities of the two golfers have not been revealed, the incident caused a stir in the golf community and made all eyes flock to the organizers.
According to sources, fraudulent behavior mentioned by Schauffele related to the intentional notice of scores and violations of the rules of use of non -allowed support devices on the field. Some witnesses said they saw one of the two golfers using illegal distance measuring devices, while the other was suspected of intentionally adjusting the ball position to have an advantage. Schauffele, who is famous for being righteous, did not hesitate to speak out right after the round, emphasizing that such behaviors are unacceptable in a large tournament like PGA Championship. “Golf is the sport of honor. We cannot let the dishonest acts of huge value,” he shared.
Meanwhile, the PGA Championship Organizing Committee is conducting an emergency investigation. A spokesman said they would carefully review the evidence, including slow -filming videos and testimonies from other golfers, before making a final decision. If the allegation is verified, the two golfers may face a ban on playing not only at PGA Championship but also at other major events. This incident sparked controversy about the transparency in professional golf, especially when technology is increasingly widely used on the field.
On the rankings, Jhonattan Vegas is still leading with -7, followed by Cameron Davis and Ryan Gerard with -5. Schauffele, despite being distracted by the incident, maintained a stable performance and was in the first group. Rory Mcilroy, who is facing personal scandal when his wife is banned from attending the tournament, also keeps a significant focus. However, the focus of attention now is not only the race to win the Wanamaker Cup but also the way the organizers handled fraudulent scandals.
PGA Championship 2025 continues to be the focus of the dramas both in and on the pitch. When the tournament entered the second round, fans were waiting not only for the top shots but also the results from the investigation that could change the situation. This incident will definitely leave an unforgettable impression in the history of the tournament.
