The Cognizant Classic is embroiled in a bit of drama. The tour event is giving out its exemptions now for the field, and those who were given passes into the tournament have been a bit controversial. Per reports, the players who were supposed to get them did not.Monday Q Info reported on X (formerly Twitter):"According to multiple sources, the tour told players in the KFT, Q-school category, that exemptions from the KFT category would go to the first two players on alternate list if all the players didn't get in."They continued:"That happened at Sony and Farmers. This week it didn't. Chris Gotterup and Parker Coody got the exemptions skipping over players in front of them. The event has the right to choose who they want, but why tell the players one thing would happen and then not do that."Chris Gotterup and Parker Coody were the golfers added to the field via exemption. When it comes to these, the PGA Tour and its events can grant them to whomever they please. However, it was stated beforehand that the top golfers were from the KFT category, and those were not Coody or Gotterup.As mentioned, the event doesn't have explicitly stated rules on who will get the next exemption. It's not a cut and dry list to pick the next players to be added. They can and do choose whoever based on whatever criteria.The controversy arises from golfers reportedly being told that exemptions would be handed out in one fashion and then seeing them given out in a completely different manner.The Cognizant Classic was the tournament that Tiger Woods' son Charlie was attempting to get into recently, and it's a fairly important event on the schedule. Being able to play in it is a big thing, and they evidently said one thing and did the other.Who is in the Cognizant Classic field?As mentioned, both Parker Coody and Chris Gotterup have been given exemptions to play at the Cognizant Classic.
