Pace of play on the PGA Tour has been a hot-button topic, and Camilo Villegas is convinced the Tour can stamp it out in 2026.

Following a suspension of play at the Sony Open, Camilo Villegas sounded off on penalties needed for golfers playing too slowly.

Golf star Camilo Villegas says the PGA Tour should “have the b****” to enforce slow play at tournaments. The Colombian is one of 16 players on the player advisory council and has demanded changes at the elite level of the sport. Villegas is part of the 156-man field competing at the Sony Open in Hawaii this weekend.

The five-time Tour-winner, who recently served on the Player Advisory Council, has a bold idea to eliminate slow play.

Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has even more experience with the optimism and nerves that come with a new season. He made his debut as a PGA Tour member in the Sony Open in 2011.
