FIRST TEE PROCEDURES

• The starter will introduce each Honorary Observer to the PGA TOUR Champions players in their group.

• The first tee photograph will be provided to each Observer at the completion of their round.

GENERAL RULES

• Make sure to turn off your cell phone or set it on silent!
• Honorary Observers are not permitted to ride in the professional player carts.
• Honorary Observer Credentials are not transferable.
• Honorary Observers have access to the snacks and water provided to players on each tee.
• Rules Officials will monitor the conduct of each Honorary Observer. Failure to adhere to the guidelines will result in a warning to the Observer, followed by notification to the Tournament Staff who will be asked to closely monitor the Observer for further indiscretions.
• Appropriate dress must be worn (shorts, pants, sneakers or soft spike golf shoes). Cut-off shorts, t-shirts, jeans and metal spike golf shoes are prohibited.
• Honorary Observers must join their assigned group on the player’s first hole. If they do not arrive prior to their tee time, they will not be able to use their Honorary Observer position for that day.
• Honorary Observers who do not have the stamina to walk all 18 holes may leave the group after nine holes, but they cannot rejoin their group at a later time as this is too disruptive to the players.
