DP World Tour suspends English golfer Marco Penge for betting

Englishman Marco Penge has been suspended by the DP World Tour after a disciplinary panel found he placed bets on multiple golf events, the circuit said on Wednesday.

The DP World Tour said Penge, 26, did not bet on himself or during tournament days when he was competing, leading the panel to determine that the integrity of such events had not been compromised.

World No. 414 Penge was given a three-month ban that took effect on Dec. 13, although one month has been suspended for a year pending further breaches of the tour's integrity program.
