Golf stars quit P.G.A. Tour
NZPA-Reuter Ponte Vedra, Florida The Masters golf champions, Nick Faldo, of Britain, and Bernhard Langer, of West Germany, have resigned their United States P.G.A. Tour membership because the American tour rejected a plan to ease playing requirements for foreigners. A spokeswoman for the P.G.A. Tour confirmed the resignations yesterday of Faldo and Langer but refused to give any more details. Both Faldo, who won
the Masters crown this year, and Langer, the 1985 winner, said they would quit the United States circuit after the P.G.A. Tour last month rejected a plan to reduce the number of events foreigners must play each season from 15 to 12. Sandy Lyle, a Briton who won the Masters in 1988, was also reported as considering quitting the United States circuit. Following the rejection of the proposal, Faldo said: “It’s obviously not good news but it’s not surprising.”
