In the opening round of the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship, Xander Schauffele made an eventful par on No. 8. It was made possible by a ruling after the seven-time PGA TOUR winner sent his tee shot on the drivable par-4 into thick bushes right of the fairway but was allowed to drop his ball outside of the shrubbery because a ShotLink tower stood between him and the hole. Golf Channel analyst Johnson Wagner and Senior Tournament Referee David Donnelly returned to the par-4 8h hole on Friday to explain the ruling in further detail.

The PGA TOUR heads to Charlotte, North Carolina this week for the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club - site of the 2017 PGA Championship and 2022 Presidents Cup. This is the sixth signature event of the season, which features an elite field of 69 players. Rory McIlroy returns this week to a place where he’s had plenty of success. He’s claimed three victories here (2010, 2015 and 2021), as well as five top-10s. He enters this week with momentum after winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with Shane Lowry two weeks ago. Wyndham Clark will also tee it up as he looks to become the first player to win back-to-back here. This was Clark’s first win on TOUR, and he has claimed two more titles since that victory - including the U.S. Open. Xander Schauffele will also be in Charlotte this week as he hopes to secure his first win. He finished second here in 2023 and claimed T25 or better in 10 of 11 events this season. Others to look out for are Max Homa, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood.

I get that this is how the rules work in golf but it’s pretty funny how the segment at the end proves that he actually could have played it just fine without moving his ball

@rickwilliams3515 21 день назад

Could have yeah but the rule states you don't have to with the tower and wire in your line of sight to the flag so why would you?

@CGBrendy 21 день назад

at 6:26 you can see that he wasn't worried about the tower, he was worried about the guide wire. If you look just next to the W and F on the logo on the back wall the guidewires for the tower are smack in the middle of his line to the hole. I think its reasonable to think when this much money on the line, its fair to say that the tower wire could definitely interfere with his shot

@hunterbarham5972 21 день назад

This comment is completely wrong . In fact the video show the guide wire is clearly in the way. Slow the video down at 8:20 and the ball comes inches from hitting the guide wire lol what are you talking about ?

@polarbear4612 6 дней назад

He had to be able to play the shot for the tower to be considered in his line of sight. If a tree had been in his way for instance then he would not have received relief from the tower.

@Plastpackad 21 день назад

Top players seems to get a different ruling time after time. Would a player from the second half of the field get this kind of treatment?

@potatopotato3204 21 день назад

Yes usga says if a player is within top 50 world ranking or has won before on tour within the year they’ll get better rulings and more rules that favor them back in 2020 they implemented it in section 20-1

Looked like 3 or 4 driver lengths to me

@TerlinguaTalkeetna 22 дня назад

I've walked with pga and lpga groups that call in the rules for clairification. It's not always easy to tell what going on when you do not know the rules. Good to great players and their caddies know the rules very well. Nowadays their are camera's everywhere at this level of golf.

@MrPgagolfer 21 день назад

Someone should notify Patrick Reed about the camera's 😂😂😂

@kyleucarer4471 20 дней назад

How do you get benefits for hitting a bad shot? You should have to play the ball where it lies.

@TC..... 19 дней назад

The original ball was by the fence. What kind of relieve did he get from that? Look like more than 1 club length to me!

@CaneFan25 21 день назад

If Xander goes on to win this tourney - this is why he won!

@HellomynameisTomT 21 день назад

He not gonna win..

@logansmith1472 19 дней назад

He lost miserably

@TC..... 19 дней назад

why are they allowing 2 club length when a free drop is 1 club length. Penalty drop allows 2 club length. Total BS.

@TC..... 19 дней назад

Someone needs to explains this from the very BEGINNING. 1. His original ball ended up by the fence. Was he in the penalty area? If so, is he entitled to a free drop? 2. It looked like there was another ball 2 club length away from the original ball, away from the fence. Looked like he was given a free drop. Again, was he in a penalty area? And why is it 2 club length instead of 1?

@petercross6960 15 дней назад

that drop looked like about 6 club lengths - confused

@terryreilly3765 21 день назад

At @2:53 David Donnelly is squatting, looking through the scrub and says “ Can you stand where that cable comes down”. He gets up saying “OK” and moves to his left, exiting the scrub. At 3:08, as he is leaving the scrub, two balls are visible, one behind Schauffle’s left foot and one which Donnelly was squatting behind, which I presume is the ball that he used to base his decision upon. It is obvious from coverage at around 2:20 that the ball as played is the one behind Schauflle’s left foot. What’s going on?

@GabrielInch 20 дней назад

I *think* it’s because of the last thing Donnelly says at the end Once they agreed there was an obstruction of the cable from the actual ball, they moved sideways to a position where there is no longer the obstruction. This is the second ball we see down, used as a marker (and Donnelly is crouching here checking to see it is clear of obstruction) You then get 2 club lengths from this new position, not the original ball, hence the drop outside the scrub. I *think*…

@mikegalvin9339 19 дней назад

I can now understand the two club length relief , as at the time it wasnt explained about the wire or tower. However , the relief does not look like it was taken from where his ball ended up , as his driver is not 10 foot long . If taking relief would mean still obstructed by a tree, then i would have thought it would be a penalty drop. Ultimately he never had a penalty, considering where he hit it into , which for any amateur just doesn't seem right , despite his explanation

@momiji33123 21 день назад

i don't 4-iron was the shot Xander actually played there, was it? i mean to get out of that penalty area.

@mr.forster2939 19 дней назад

Is there not a limit to how long your driver can be ??? That 1 driver lenght looked about 12 foot

@Darian2312 21 день назад

@tapryor2tonysub150 21 день назад

This ruling was an embarrassment to the game. Absolute disgrace.

@jakejones2633 21 день назад

Yeah they should just have to play through the bleachers behind the greens too. They only build a small portable city directly on the golf course, why have rules to mitigate it?

@thepossieguy 21 день назад

I would say that a rule change is a no brainer but only the PGA tour is bad enough at making decisions to watch the TIO abuse all year and not make any rule changes for next season

@mostlyinterested1016 17 дней назад

Do you know how many times I've watched a pro "create" a set of circumstances that fit him/her getting relief? "You know, if I stand one one leg and hop up and down as high as I can, I THINK I can just about not see the green because of that hot dog tent that I wouldn't have seen if I didn't put my ball 60 yards off-line." All the rest of us, when we spray our tee-shot into the boonies, are pretty much stuck with what we've got. Xander's shot was, with respect to all concerned, sideways back onto the fairway. Honestly, despite what the Rules Officials say, I think his shot was to hit the ball sideways and not to go for the "hero shot" towards the shotlink tower that "created" the relief - and the relief was "miles", not two club lengths.

@poohbear4130 21 день назад

These Professional golfers benefit from the outside influences like score boards,cables,concession stands, crowds of people, if they played without the outside influences like we do you can add a couple stokes for sure! I don’t blame them for knowing the rules it’s part of there game you know everyone of these pro’s have benefited from a ruling at some point, right Jordan!

If this was Tiger, all of the casual fanboys would be cheering about how awesome it was.

@SliceTwiceGolf 21 день назад

It was a terrible shot and should be treated as such, OB is OB. Sure.... rules should be applied but this feels more like rule bending than it is playing by the rules.

I only want to know how much longer the PGA will continue to call itself the Pro Golfer's Association of America, since it's now owned by Saudi Arabia. When should we expect the name to be updated to correctly reflect PGSA?

@bradcollins6659 21 день назад

The PGA of America is for teaching professionals and the PGA Tour, which is a very specific separate entity, is for the touring, tournament, professional golfers. If the PIF contributes tons of $$$ without receiving any decision making authority, the autonomy still afforded the PGA Tour remains legitimate.
