The PGA Tour has made adjustments to its rule regarding scorecard disqualifications – here’s how it works.
📌 If a player has left the scoring area and an error is identified before the scorecard is validated in the scoring system, he may return to correct the error within 15 minutes of the error being identified by the scoring official.
📌 If a player is in the scoring area when the 15 minutes expires, his scorecard is returned when he leaves the scoring area.
The rule change is going into effect immediately on all PGA Tour sanctioned circuits, as well as the DP World Tour.
🤔 Why the change in Rule? Disqualifications for incorrect scoring happen a few times each year, but an incident with Jordan Spieth at the Genesis Invitational may have spurred a rule amendment. Spieth was disqualified for signing a scorecard that incorrectly listed a 3 instead of a 4 on Riviera Country Club’s par-3 fourth hole.
He apologized on social media, taking full responsibility. It later emerged that Spieth, feeling sick, had rushed to the bathroom after his round and didn’t have time to check his card.
