Overview
- An Independent Disciplinary Panel on November 3 found a serious Code of Behaviour breach, citing a reckless infringement of the Rules of Golf.
- The suspension covers the first ten events of the 2026 HotelPlanner Tour, which opens with the SDC Open in South Africa on January 29, and the return date depends on the finalized schedule.
- The case stems from a June 12 disqualification at the Raiffeisenbank Golf Challenge in the Czech Republic for playing from the wrong place on the greens on multiple occasions.
- Playing partners Adri Arnaus and Aron Zemmer reported the alleged infractions to officials after the round.
- Gugler said on Instagram that he somewhat carelessly admitted a possible misplacement on the green, denied any intent to gain advantage, and accepted the decision.
