We can but we choose not to. While I completely disagree with their decision, there is precedent in real life for what they've done here. The NCAA (whom I think is a total joke) does not re-award wins or championships when a team is ruled ineligible. If you look at their record books, it will just say "position vacated" or something similar to it. So while I personally think they should move the cards for the wins because Bryan was an ineligible player and thus could not be the "best player" that week as he was not a valid player, they have grounds for it. But I would seriously implore Tim, Doyley and Goats to reconsider the moving of trophy cards to the people who finished behind Steve that week. He was not an eligible player, thus he cannot be considered the "best player" that week.

He was an eligible player. He isn't now, but he was at the time. Granted, if we knew then, what we know now, he would not have been eligible. But we didn't, so he was.
We can either partially pretend he didn't participate, or we can live with the fact that he did. We can't fully undo what was done. We voted to live with it.

My next question is this: Which name will Steve (Boomer) use once he is reinstated? If it is his real name, which is his real name as far as we know, then does that not nullify the Bryan Boomer name and results? Steve logged onto Steam as Steve2Golf last night for the first time in forever. I think that suggests the answer. As far as nullifying results. No. Lots of people here not using their real names on tour.

I've been trying to keep up with all the threads but it's tough. For the "Admins" let me know if there is anything at all I need to tweet out. Any message you want me to deliver and what not. Especially if you do update winners or make changes in rulings. Just be sure to keep me in the loop. For now though I will just proceed as normal. Thanks guys, Jason

Letting him keep those victories sends out a very bad signal. I can see it on the front page next May - "Bryan Boomer returns to Sawgrass to defend his Players Championship Crown" Except he doesn't..... because he doesn't exist.... and the guy pretending to be him is banned anyway. Forgive my tone but i'm really not understanding the logic here

I don't understand your logic. Why would we tweet out "Bryan Boomer returns"? Bryan Boomer isn't returning.
He doesn't exist but neither do a myriad of other people on our leaderboards, so I am not sure I get the point?
And I've already stated, we can't remove his wins. It is technologically a nightmare. Best we can do is give trophy cards to the runners-up. But I've yet to be convinced to do that.

Using that logic Jeff from a person who wasn't suppose to be here you may as well give him back The Masters win for 2015 as well.

Did I miss something? This is for fake trophies and fake money right? Do you guys really want me to spend 2/3 hours away from my family and other obligations to readjust and reallocate some fake money and trophies?
Wow.
