KAPALUA, Hawaii – Call it the Tiger Woods rule.
When PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announced in August that the PGA Tour would institute 13 designated events with elevated purses between $15 million and $25 million this season, he pointed out that the top players would commit to play in them and would be allowed to skip only one of the events. It would be a requirement for top players to earn their bonus money in the Player Impact Program.
