After years of meticulous study and thousands of shots analyzed by ShotLink, and in light of a desire to keep the focus on the golf, the PGA TOUR is announcing major enhancements to its existing slow-play policy that will go into effect at the RBC Heritage in mid-April.
Fines will go up as much as tenfold, stroke penalties could be meted out more frequently, and individual players will be on notice that they’re on the slow list.
“We want to keep the focus where it should be,” PGA TOUR Chief of Operations Tyler Dennis said. “On world-class shot-making.”
To that end, the TOUR will implement two major enhancements to deter slow play.
