The PGA TOUR, after consulting with the United States Golf Association, announced that DeChambeau could continue using the compass because the Rules do not address its use. That could change, though.
“There is no clear precedent on the use of a compass in this manner and it is not currently prohibited under the Rules of Golf,” the TOUR said in a statement. “The USGA is reviewing the matter, with our feedback, and is expected to make a ruling on its conformity with the Rules soon.”
DeChambeau uses the tool to more accurately determine hole locations.
