"It's up to Finchem. He can do that. He can say, 'Anthony Kim, you can't go to Abu Dhabi.'"

John Strege documents that latest non-groundswell of outrage from La Quinta where releases continue to be on people's minds. After calling out Anthony Kim, new PAC board member Scott McCarron has these words of wisdom for the Commissioner:

"The tour does not have to give the conflicting events release," McCarron said. "It's up to Finchem. He can do that. He can say, 'Anthony Kim, you can't go to Abu Dhabi. You've got to play here. Sorry.' For tournaments like the Bob Hope, when you have guys like Anthony Kim and some other guys, especially with local ties, he should be here at the Bob Hope.

"We're at the start of the season, we need sponsorship, we need everybody playing here. And I mean everybody. For me, being on the PAC, I would say, 'Mr. Finchem, don't let any guys out, at least the first couple weeks.'"
