PGA Tour broadcast crews wore blue ribbons on their caps and collars on Thursday to remember longtime Sirius XM PGA Tour commentator Mark Carnevale.
The PGA Tour said he died unexpectedly on Monday at age 64.
Carnevale worked his last tournament at the Scottish Open two weekends ago and was scheduled to work this week’s 3M Open.
“Bottom line, I have two events left until the playoffs, and I’m not in the playoffs right now,” Andrew Novak said. Novak is 84th in the FedEx Cup standings and finished Thursday tied for third at 6 under. “Despite me playing well, that doesn’t really matter. I need to go play better.”
Top 125, 70, 50 and 30 cutoffs guarantee players slots in specific events next year. Martin Trainer, tied for third with Novak and Patrick Rodgers, is 137th in the Cup standings this year. Rodgers is 51st. Mackenzie Hughes, who shot 7 under and is alone in second, is 50th.
