The 34-year-old India finished 129th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list this season, participating in 22 events. In contrast, the 26-year-old Staiano played in only eight KFT tournaments in 2023 and finished 169th in points.
According to Golf Channel, both India and Staiano will not be participating in the final stage of PGA Tour Q-School happening from December 14-17.
The PGA Tour Integrity Program was established in 2018 following the Supreme Court’s invalidation of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Its purpose is to prevent any form of corruption related to betting in PGA Tour competitions.
