PGA Tour adjusts mobile device usage policy

Spectators can now use their mobile devices to take photos throughout tournament week at PGA Tour events as long as it is away from areas of play.

In the past, the PGA Tour restricted all photography to “Designated Cell Phone Areas” while play was taking place.

“Our mobile device policy has been met with great enthusiasm by fans,” said Andy Pazder, PGA TOUR chief of operations. “We believe the expanded policy will significantly enhance the on-site spectator experience while maintaining a suitable atmosphere for all players on the course.”

New PGA Tour guidelines:

  • Devices must be on silent at all times.
