Peter Malnati described the PGA Tour's ShotLink system as "terrible" at the WWT Championship while fighting to save his tour card for the 2027 season

In hopes of keeping his PGA Tour card for 2027, Peter Malnati finished tied for 18th after showing pure dislike toward the shotlink system in Mexico.

Speaking at the World Wide Technology Championship that ended in a playoff between Blades Brown and Ben James, Malnati revealed that he’s aiming to keep his PGA Tour card for 2027, but called for the shotlink system to be changed.

“It's so interesting, I mentioned yesterday in my comments how proud I am of the PGA Tour,” said Malnati after being asked about his putting.

“The PGA Tour does pretty much everything right. They're on the cutting edge of everything in professional golf, but the Shotlink system they're using this week stinks, it doesn't work at all. So I don't know how they're even claiming to have statistical information. Like, it's terrible. And I say that as a challenge to like to get it better for the Tour or just don't use it yet.”

The shotLink system is a revolutionary platform for collecting and disseminating scoring and statistical data on every shot by each player in real-time.

Malnati, pressing for better cutting edge technology from the American circuit was also aiming for a high finish, as the 39-year-old began the week ranked 157th in the FedExCup Fall.

Only the top 100 keep full status in 2027, and the top 125 maintain conditional status. With just two events to play after this week, time is of the essence.

“The only thing I've ever wanted to do was play golf on the PGA Tour,” Malnati said. “I'm feeling a lot of pressure in that I'm not ready to be done doing that yet.”

Having managed only a single top-25 result throughout the regular season, Malnati has successfully secured two additional top-25 finishes during the fall series on the PGA Tour.

“Well, it's interesting. The pressure I'm feeling is that I love my job,” he said. This is what I strived for.”

Malnati was a young teenager when he quit playing baseball to solely focus on his golf game.

“From the moment I made that decision, the only thing I've ever wanted to do was play golf on the PGA Tour,” he said.

“So I'm feeling a lot of pressure in that I'm not ready to be done doing that yet. It feels like the game, because there are so many really talented young players, and the PGA Tour is working so hard to ensure that the best players from wherever they are in the world end up playing here, like if you fall off the PGA Tour, it might not be easy to get back on the PGA Tour. So I feel that.”
