PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Alex Cejka made some unfortunate history Thursday at the Honda Classic.
He became the first PGA Tour player disqualified for violating the Rules of Golf’s new interpretation limiting greens reading materials.
Cejka was informed that he was DQ’d at the 14th hole.
“It was brought to the committee’s attention that Alex might possibly be using some old greens reading materials, and so we were obligated to check it out,” PGA Tour rules official Robby Ware said.
The new rules limit the size and scale of greens reading materials.
