When a player qualifies for the PGA tour, he signs an agreement with several stipulations one of which is to not play in competing events. Players may ask for and will often be granted permission to play in a few competing events during the year. A player from Italy, for example might be granted permission to play in the Italian Open even though it is played at the same time as a PGA Tour event. Every player agrees to these terms so it is not surprising that some players have resigned their PGA Tour membership or that the tour is suspending those who have violated their agreement.
