English golfer Marco Penge will serve a two-month ban from the DP World Tour for gambling violations. The disciplinary panel discovered the 26-year-old bet on several tournaments, although not on his own results or on days of tournaments when he was still in the field.

Mitigation included his immediate admission of the wagering activity and full cooperation with the investigation. For the integrity program breaches, he’ll pay a £2,000 ($2,539) fine and serve a three-month ban, with one month suspended, until mid-February.

Penge is ranked 414th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and narrowly avoided losing his tour card by finishing 110th in the Race to Dubai rankings. A birdie on the last hole of his season was the saving grace, as the top 114 players kept their playing privileges for the following season.

Four regular tournaments and one Rolex Series event will take place during Penge’s ban, which puts him behind the pack in the race to retain his tour card.
