Overview
- After a 2-under 70 in Round 1 at Torrey Pines, Brennan was disqualified for violating Model Local Rule G-11, which nullified his score.
- The PGA Tour confirmed the breach involved non-permitted green-reading materials but did not provide further specifics or a detailed timeline.
- In an Instagram post, Brennan said a course data analyst sent green maps and that he transcribed arrows into his yardage book before notifying a rules official.
- Under MLR G-11, players may use only committee-approved yardage books and personal on-site observations; a first breach draws two strokes and a second results in disqualification.
- Brennan, 23, recently earned a two-year PGA Tour exemption with his October 2025 Bank of Utah Championship win, and prior cases such as Collin Morikawa’s 2023 penalty show the rule’s active enforcement.
