Why are golfers still required to enter a correct scorecard?

1.67K viewsOther

In regards to the recent Jordan Spieth incident, of which his incorrect scorecard disqualified him from a tournament… I mean, this is 2024. Every shot he takes is being recorded and discussed. Everyone in charge of running that event already knew what his score was, so why does an error like this erase his results? Is any other sport like this in which the players can be disqualified for being bad at math?

That’s just part of the game. The people who make the rules decided that’s how it has to be done. And the players, by playing in their tournaments, agreed to these rules. So even if it seems silly or pointless, they’ll still be disqualified for breaking the rules because that’s what they agreed to.
