However, this time, the situation took an unexpected turn for a future PGA Tour golfer who is currently making waves on the Korn Ferry Tour. Unfortunately, right after completing the first round of the $1,500,000 event, he encountered a significant setback, putting brakes on his path to success. Let’s find out more!

This is not the first time that Tosti has suffered from a mishap. Earlier this year, in April, he had to face the PGA Authorities rules.

Tosti’s difficulties with PGA Tour rules

Just a few months back, Tosti faced some difficulties with the PGA Tour. Alongside Wilson Furr, Tosti incurred a two-stroke penalty during a Korn Ferry Tour event. The penalty arose from taking a shuttle from the 18th green to the first tee in the middle of the round.

It violated the PGA Tour’s Model Local Rule, which prohibits players from using transportation during a round. However, Tosti managed to recover from the penalty and secured a sponsor exemption to participate in the Mexico Open.

Well, Tosti’s golfing future completely depends on the decision of the authorities. Meanwhile, we can only hope he gets a chance to play again on the greens. Let us know in the comments below what you think about the entire saga.
