Condition:  A players’ clubs must conform to the grooves and punch mark conditions of competition.

Player only golf cars will be provided to share during practice and championship rounds (two player carts maximum per group). Caddies are allowed, however, a player's golf clubs may only be transported by golf car. Push/pull carts are not allowed during the Championship at any time.

A “riding scorer” will accompany each group during the final two rounds.

Rule 4.3a(1):  The use of distance-measuring devices will be allowed at the 2024 Senior PGA Professional Championship during competition rounds in accordance with Rule 4.3a(1) in the Rules of Golf. To help clarify what this means:

Distance and Directional Information:

Allowed: Getting information on distance or direction (such as from a distance-measuring device or compass).

Not Allowed: Measuring or calculating elevation changes, wind speed, “effective yardages” or interpreting distance or directional information (such as using a device to get a recommended line of play or club selection based on the location of a player’s ball).

If a distance-measuring device has any additional functionality referenced as not allowed (above), the use of any such additional function would be a breach of Rule 4.3a(1).

We are hopeful that allowing the use of such devices will help players and caddies determine their yardages and club selection in a more efficient manner.

If you have any questions on the use of such devices during competition rounds, we encourage you to speak with or ask any PGA of America Rules Committee Member.

Model Local Rules G-10, limiting a club used in competition to 46 inches in length, except for a putter, will NOT be in effect for the 2024 Senior PGA Professional Championship.

Model Local Rules G-11, further restricting Greens Reading Materials, will NOT be in effect for the 2024 Senior PGA Professional Championship.

In the event of a failure to comply with the foregoing, the PGA shall have the authority to fix such penalty as in the PGA's judgement shall be in the best interest of the PGA.
