Professional golfers Vince India and Jake Staiano of the Korn Ferry Tour have been suspended after it was revealed they placed wagers on PGA events, the tour announced.
Two professional golfers have been suspended for gambling on PGA events, the tour announced. Vince India and Jake Staiano of the Korn Ferry Tour had their suspensions officially begin last month. India is facing a six-month suspension until March 17 of next year, while Staiano will be suspended until Dec. 10.
The PGA Tour said neither golfer placed wagers on events in which they participated. India, 34, joined the Korn Ferry Tour in 2015 and has played in 176 events. He has career earnings of $662,823 on all levels of the Tour. India made half of the cuts in the 22 tournaments he played in, with his best finish being T-21 on two occasions. Staiano, 26, has played in 17 events on the Korn Ferry Tour in his career and made $30,910.
The Iowa State football program has also been hit with a slew of penalties amid a probe into the school. No punishments have occurred in the NBA and MLB since the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for legalized sports gambling in 2018. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
