Top 13 PGA pros who got fined, suspended, or banned. We watched them swing with grace, win with class, lose with dignity. Or so we thought. But behind the cameras and country clubs, golf’s cleancut image has been shaken again and again by players who crossed the line. From shocking finds to outright bans, these are the 13 PGA pros who got fined, suspended, or banned. And number one, no one would have seen that coming. 13. Kevin Na, slow play warnings. Kevin Na became infamous not for cheating, not for drugs, but for how long he took to hit a shot. His pre-shot routine once took over a minute. Fans groaned, commentators mocked him, and the PGA, they issued warnings. Na became the face of golf’s paceof play debate and even admitted he needed to change. 12. Grayson Murray suspended for conduct. Grayson Murray’s talent was never the issue. His behavior a different story. Known for clashing with fans, reporters, and even other players. Murray was suspended in 2021 after multiple code of conduct violations. He later opened up about battling alcohol abuse and mental health challenges. The PGA eventually reinstated him, but his case raised serious questions about athlete wellness and support. 11. Anthony Kim vanished after injury or suspension. Anthony Kim was a rising star until he wasn’t. After an Achilles injury in 2012, he disappeared from the PGA tour entirely. No interviews, no comeback, no explanation. Rumors swirled of a secret insurance policy worth millions that would be voided if he ever returned. Others speculated, was there more to the story? A quiet ban? A contract fallout? To this day, Kim remains golf’s biggest what if? 10. Robert Gerrigas weed suspension. It was 2019 when Robert Garagus made history, just not the kind he wanted. He became the first PGA Tour player suspended under its drug policy. After testing positive for marijuana, though Griggas later admitted to the usage and called for the policy to be reviewed, the damage was done. A threemonth suspension and a reputation clouded in controversy. Nine. John Daly. Wild behavior and alcohol. John Daly is a fan favorite, but even legends can go too far. From drunken outbursts to walking off the course mid round, Dy’s offc course habits caught up with him. In 2008, he was suspended after being found passed out at a Hooters. The PGA had had enough. Multiple fines, suspensions, and warnings. Talent unquestionable. Discipline. Not so much. Eight. VJ Singh deer antler spray. VJ Singh Hall of Famer. But in 2013, a supplement scandal put his legacy in jeopardy. He admitted to using deer antler spray which contained a banned substance IGF-1. Though later cleared after legal battles, Singh was fined and the PGA faced backlash. Legal gray area or cheating? Fans are still divided. Number seven, Rory Sabatini encourse behavior. Rory Sabatini has a fiery side and it’s cost him. From arguing with playing partners to berating officials, Sabatini’s temper got him fined multiple times. He was even suspended by the PGA for conduct unbecoming. At one point, he was removed from a tournament midseason. Number six, Matt Every, drug suspension. In 2020, Matt Every received a 12week suspension for testing positive for cannabis. His second offense under the tour’s anti-drug policy. Every didn’t deny it. He called it medical use, but the PGA didn’t budge. His comeback rocky at best. Number five, Patrick Reed bunker controversy. Patrick Reed is no stranger to drama. But in 2019, he crossed a line many fans never forgot. Caught on camera improving his lie in a waste bunker during the Hero World Challenge, Reed was penalized two strokes. He claimed he didn’t mean to. Critics didn’t buy it. Though not suspended, the incident damaged his reputation and follows him to this day. Number four, Steve Marino betting scandal. In 2017, Steve Marino was hit with a suspension tied to gambling activities. While not widely publicized, reports claim he violated PGA’s betting policies involving insider knowledge. The ban was temporary, but the stigma remains. I always bet on myself it was heard. Number three, Tiger Woods DUI arrest. Tiger Woods, the face of golf. But in 2017, the world saw a different side. Arrested for DUI, found asleep at the wheel with multiple substances in his system. While the PGA didn’t suspend him, sponsors pulled out. His career went on pause. It was a sobering fall from grace for the game’s biggest icon. Judged in the court of public opinion, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Number two, Scott Stallings. peed violation. Scott Stallings was suspended for 3 months in 2015 for violating the tour’s anti-doping policy. He self-reported taking DHEA, an over-the-counter testosterone booster. It was the first performance-enhancing drug case the PGA publicly confirmed. He was no Lance Armstrong. Number one, Dustin Johnson, secret suspension. In 2014, Dustin Johnson suddenly took a leave of absence, but reports told a different story. Allegedly suspended for cocaine use, the PGA never officially announced a cause. Rumors of multiple failed tests swirled. Sponsors grew silent. Fans speculated for years. Johnson returned and won majors. But the shadow of that quiet ban still lingers. golf may seem buttoned and collared up, but behind the etiquette lies a world of drama, scandal, and consequence. And these weren’t just minor infractions. They shook the sport to its core. Which suspension surprised you the most? Leave a comment below for more jaw-dropping golf stories.
