Matt Gogel, a member of the PGA Tour Champions circuit, has been suspended six months by the PGA Tour for betting on Tour events.
The bets violated the Tour’s Integrity Program, and Gogel’s suspension started Sunday. A statement from Gogel, which was provided by the PGA Tour on Wednesday, said that he wagered on events in which he did not play, and that the bets came in 2024 and ’25.
“In 2024 and 2025, I unknowingly violated the PGA Tour policy by placing small recreational wagers on golf,” Gogel’s statement said. “I want to be clear that these wagers were not placed on regular PGA Tour events, PGA Tour Champions events or any tournament in which I participated.
“I would never knowingly violate the integrity of the game of golf. I made an honest mistake and I look forward to playing in 2027 on the PGA Tour Champions.”
