PGA Tour-bound 'wild boy' suspended! "We're talking P-Reed level rumours"

Alejandro Tosti is headed to the PGA Tour in 2024.

And judging by stories about the 27-year-old Argentine, we sure are in for some fireworks.

Why we are talking about Tosti is because he has just been suspended by the Korn Ferry Tour.

His suspension was confirmed after he withdrew from this week's Albertson Boise Open. The Boise Open is part of the Korn Ferry Tour finals.

Golfers are currently attempting to secure their 2024 status on the tour or punch their ticket to the big time.

It is not known why Tosti has been suspended.

The KFT are keeping schtum over the matter, refusing to comment and only describing the situation as an internal matter.

A statement from the KFT reads:

"Korn Ferry Tour member Alejandro Tosti was withdrawn from the Albertsons Boise Open presented by Chevron following the first round of competition, due to a disciplinary matter. Tosti entered the week ranked fourth on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List.

"Per PGA Tour policy, the details of the issue and any related disciplinary action will be handled internally.

"Tosti, 27, has a win and eight other top-10s this season and has been declared 'TOURBound' by earning enough points to ensure his PGA Tour card for 2024. The top 30 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List after the Korn Ferry Tour Championship on Oct. 5-8 earn PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season."

The news of Tosti's suspension was first reported by Ryan French, aka Monday Q Info on X.

French also reported how another pro in the very same event was disqualified for missing his tee time despite being on the range.

Curtis Luck was that pro in question and he handled the DQ admirably. 'I'll just press on,' he said after mixing up his tee times.

As for Tosti, he was also involved in a rules incident earlier in the season.

Tosti's and a host of other golfers were docked two shots each under MLR G-6 for taking unauthorised shuttle rides from a green to a tee box during the Lecom Suncoast Classic.

Alejandro Tosti has a reputation on the Korn Ferry Tour for being a true wild boy. P-Reed level rumors flying around. We could see some fireworks when he plays on the PGA Tour next season. Wild boys tend to stay wild boys. https://t.co/wqROe3pD3m

He told Golf Channel of the matter:

"I asked the guy, 'Are you giving rides to the first tee?' And he said, 'Yeah, jump in.'"

"I know that I cannot jump in a cart that is not official, but this was almost like organized.

"It almost seemed like someone sent this guy to give us a ride. It was ready, waiting for us to walk off the green and give us a ride to the first tee, and that guy apparently was not supposed to be there."

We'll have to keep our eyes peeled to see what develops with Tosti.

As Rapaport has pointed out: wild boys do tend to stay wild boys.
