Collin Morikawa: Two-time major champion calls for PGA Tour to follow LPGA Tour approach to crack down on slow play | Golf News happymamay

Colin Maurica, the main champion twice, believes that the PGA tour should follow the progress of LPGA Tour in eliminating slow toys.

Under new policies that will enter into force in March, the LPGA players who take from one to five seconds are longer than the time allowed to operate will get a fine.

Players that take from six to 15 seconds for a longer period of time for a one penalty will get one penalty, and those who take more than 16 seconds will get a penalty of sixty.

While Jacob Skov Olsen of Denmark got one penalty during the first round of the BMW Australia in 2024 in the World DP tour, the last penalty kick was delivered in the PGA tour in 2017.

“With the side of the fans, I realize that they complain of slow playing, but if you offer them more shots, I do not think they will complain about the slow play, right?” Moreikawa said at a press conference before Genesis
invitation.

“But it is a problem with the tour. There is nothing to be seen.

“Obviously, you see what LPGA is doing. You need to start the fine of people. Look, if you are beaten on the wrist and get a fine, I do not want to be fined again.

“It is just like the American Professional League, like technologies. Some players are fine with fining every week for TS. If men are fine to get technologies and get penalties here on a tour because they are slow, so be that.

“Something should happen and no one wants to be a Guinea pig, this is the first man to do this and get it, but it begins somewhere.”

Moreika also said that he will not face any problem if a list of bad times and penalties was announced, adding: “This will not be bad if you leave a list.

“Whether it is general or not, I think you are focusing on the wrong thing. You just have to do something about it, and I do not think that a sufficient number is fined or a sufficient number of people is punished.”
