Question:
In November 2008, golfer J. P. Hayes was participating in the PGA Tour’s Qualifying Tournament, often called Q-School. Mr. Hayes, then 42, discovered after the second round of play that he had used a Titleist prototype ball for play that day, a ball not approved for PGA play. After his discovery, Mr. Hayes called a PGA official to let him know what had happened. As he suspected, Mr. Hayes was disqualified from Q-School. Achievement at Q-School results in a type of automatic right to participate in the PGA’s top tournaments for the year. Without Q-School status, golfers do not qualify automatically for tournament play and have to take a different path to get into tournaments. The difference in earnings for the year for the golfer who does not qualify at Q-School versus the golfer who does is millions. Mr. Hayes said, “I’m kind of at a point in my career where if I have a light year, it might be a good thing. I’m looking forward to playing less and spending more time with my family. It’s not the end of the world. It will be fine. It is fine.”20 What ethical category/categories are involved here? Classify Mr. Hayes under the ethical schools of thought. Describe his credo.? p-698
