As it turns out, Arjun Atwal won't be making a return to tournament golf this week. We had reported that Arjun had planned to begin retracing his season through the Nationwide Players Cup this week, but he has now been told that the PGA Tour players who qualify for the week's tournament on the higher tour can't play the Nationwide tournament. Arjun had an entry for the Travelers Championship, but he has chosen not to take that.
The 13th point in the Nationwide Tour Eligibility Requirements clearly mentions, "If needed to fill the field, PGA TOUR members who are not eligible for the PGA TOUR event occurring simultaneously with the Nationwide Tour event," are eligible.
So he will now be back at the John Deere Classic that starts in Illinois from July 9, Arjun told us today, the new plan giving him another two weeks' rest.
