Missed Cut vs. DQ

[Oblong]

I've noticed some golfers in tournaments who have played but not entered their scores. Possibly they think why bother if they know their scores will not make the cut.

The question is there any difference between getting a missed cut (entering your round 1/2 scores) and getting a DQ (not playing or just not entering the scores).

It would think maybe by entering your scores that wouldn't count as a missed tournament in order to retain your tour card while the latter would go against you. Maybe noteworthy to let golfers know if they register for a tourney it is in their best interest to post their scores if that is the case.

If someone registers and does not play, they should get 0 Fedex points AND count the tournament as being played. Just my 2 cents.

If you register, you've taken a spot from someone else that couldn't get in. Now if you don't bother to play and post a score, there should be (and I think there is) a penalty for doing that.

Yes, when the leaderboards are reveled on Saturday after the cuts, the folks that played their 1st and 2nd rounds that do not make the cut -- will show up as MC and in order based on their previous rounds.

Those that do not have at least round 1 and 2 completed will receive a DQ and will be listed as such. You can visit the Tour info page on the site for more info on card revocation based on # of DQs.

too many dq's will negate your card, so no incentive not to post scores.

glad this rule is in place, because if many just didnt post their score cards, it would effect the overall cut line.
