Tiger Woods Score, Jordan Spieth Faces Possible Fine

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Tiger Woods’ score is not getting updated today because the PGA Tour has rain delayed the BMW Championship. No play will occur Sunday. And there is a chance the rain will prevent play on Monday as well. If that happens, the tournament will be called at three round putting Tiger in trouble and Jordan Spieth facing a possible fine or suspension.

Tiger Woods’ score after three round was 12 under. He is tied in eleven under overall. Tiger was about the new Nike campaign Friday. “I think Nike is trying to get out ahead of it and trying to do something special, and I think they’ve done that,” Woods said Friday. “It’s a beautiful spot and pretty powerful people in the spot.”

But the golfer who would get hurt most if play is called after three rounds is Jordan Spieth. The PGA two years instituted a new rule that that a player must play in at least 25 events per year “if they fail to add an event to their schedule that they have not played in the previous four years”, ESPN explains. Because Spieth did not add a tournament, he is now at 23, the Ryder is 24, and he needs to qualify to the Tour Championship to make 25. But if Spieth does qualify “he faces a fine and a possible suspension if he doesn’t because he would fall short of the number of events he is required to play on the PGA Tour”, ESPN explains.

What is Jordan’s reaction? “Each year I’ve had an opportunity to win the FedEx Cup at the end of the year,” Spieth said. “It’s certainly highlighted and a goal. This year in the current state I’m in a more difficult position to win the FedEx Cup than I’ve been in the last five, six years. At some point in your career, you’ll be stuck in a position that’s more difficult than other years.” For live leaderboard results today through Monday click HERE.
