A PGA Tour hopeful who was banned for breaking betting rules is ready to make a comeback on the big stage. 

Jake Staiano was suspended last October along with fellow Korn Ferry Tour player Vince India last October for violating the PGA Tour’s Integrity Program.

The duo were deemed to have wagered bets on PGA Tour competitions that they were not involved in. Staiano was handed a three-month suspension, while India received a six-month ban.

The PGA Tour offered no details of the violations, but Staiano told his side of the story in a subsequent interview with MondayQInfo’s Ryan French.

Staiano told French he placed four bets totalling $116.20, including a $25 stake on Bryson DeChambeau to make a birdie on a par-5 during a PGA Tour event. He made three other bets in DeChambeau’s exhibition contest against Brooks Koepka billed ‘The Match’ in November 2021.
