Caddie and Spectator Policy

 

Spectators are welcome at all Am Tour tournaments provided the course allows spectators to walk the course and the spectators do not interfere with pace of play. Spectators are the responsibility of the player they are watching and must remain out of play (i.e. cart path, rough, etc) and practice proper golf etiquette at all times.


Caddies are welcome at all Am Tour tournaments provided the course allows caddies to walk the course and the caddies do not interfere with pace of play. Caddies are the responsibility of the associated player and are requested to practice proper golf etiquette. If there is an issue with the behavior of a spectator(s), or caddie(s), the individual(s) will be asked to leave the premises.


Spectators and/or caddies are not permitted in a player golf cart (exception: A caddie or spectator may ride in a cart to the starting hole and from green to tee. In addition a spectator or caddie may sit in a cart only when it is parked at a tee or at a green). Use of golf carts is for the sole purpose of the players. Any spectator or caddie found riding in a golf cart during play of a stipulated hole may result in the immediate disqualification of the player(s) who are associated with the violating spectator(s) and/or caddie(s) at Major Championships and the National Championships.


For local (18-hole) events only, spectators and/or caddies are permitted in a player golf cart and may rent a cart depending on availability and course policy as well as local Tour policy.
