All spectators, including family members, must comply with PGA policy and remain on the cart path at all times.  See the FAQ's here for F&B options available at TPC Sawgrass. All spectators must remain at least 15 yards away from all players during play.

PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

PUSH CART POLICY

Non-motorized push carts are allowed and contestants are to utilize their own personal push cart if needed. TPC Sawgrass does not have push carts available for rent. 

ADVICE POLICY 

Please see the Advice Local Rule here.

TEAM SUBSTITUTION POLICY

Prior to a Championship round (stroke play or match play), a team may substitute a sixth player for any member of the team, provided that: 

a. The PGA Rules Committee is notified of the substitution at least 10 minutes prior to that team member’s starting time. 

b. The sixth player has completed the Participant Championship Application and meets all conditions of entry as indicated on the application.

Note 1: When a team has substituted a sixth player, the substitution becomes final 10 minutes prior to that team member’s starting time and no further changes may be made by the team for that round. However, prior to the 10 minute mark, the team may withdraw the substitution by notifying the PGA Rules Committee and may substitute for another player as provided above. The team member that was substituted for, becomes the sixth player and the team is limited to that player, if the team wishes to substitute a player prior to any subsequent Championship round. 

Note 2: Unless a team chooses to substitute a sixth player prior to a playoff, the team’s five players that played in the previous round will be used for the playoff.

Note 3: If a player is substituted during the Championship, they are no longer eligible to become a medalist. A player may be substituted back into the Championship for a subsequent round (ex: Player may compete in Round 1, substituted for Round 2, and substitute back in for Round 3). Only players that complete and post a score for all three competition rounds will be eligible for medalist honors.
