Second pro golfer suspended by PGA Tour for gambling makes public apology

Two Korn Ferry Tour players were recently suspended by the PGA Tour for placing bets on pro golfers.

Jake Staiano was suspended from PGA Tour-sanctioned competition for three months, and was the first player to discuss his violation on Ryan French’s Any Given Monday podcast earlier this week.

Vince India was the other pro who got suspended. He’s banned from competing in any PGA Tour-sanctioned event for six months, from Sept. 18 through March 17, 2024.

India, 34, has played in 176 events during his career on the Korn Ferry Tour. This season he made 22 starts, missed 11 cuts and withdrew from one event. His best result was a pair of T-21 finishes. His total career earnings are $662,823.

He posted an apology on social media on Tuesday, admitting he knowingly violated the Tour’s Integrity Program.
