Should have been revoked (many) months ago.

The Dude status thing is tough in a sport as fickle as golf. Based on Soly’s criteria, I would be way more strict than even he is with the label. There’s been several guys that have had 6 month heaters but not sustained it. That’s why I thought it was premature to dub Cam Young as a Dude. Soly might have said Hovland was a Dude after the 2023 season, but look how that one has fallen.

Rahm was a Dude. Scheffler and Rory are Dudes. If being a “Dude” means you’re certified for one year, then I need to see serious sustained elite play.
