AUTOGRAPH POLICY
To provide the PGA TOUR professionals with an environment free of interruptions, autographs are not allowed during Tournament play. After the conclusion of play, golfers may sign autographs at their option. Please respect the players' on-course concentration and do not ask them for autographs during their rounds.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Golf can be played in the rain. Therefore, in the event of questionable weather, play is still on unless you are provided information that play has been suspended.

If, however, potentially dangerous weather is detected, warnings will be broadcast on all the electronic leaderboards, which are located on the golf course. These warnings are intended to notify spectators before play is suspended, and to provide sufficient time for them to proceed to a sheltered area.

Suspension of play occurs with one prolonged blast of an air horn, repeated once. All attendees should take cover immediately. Resumption of play occurs with two short blasts of an air horn, repeated once.

In the event of dangerous weather, please avoid the following: bodies of water, hilltops/high places, open fields, telephone poles, grandstands, tall/Isolated trees, metal fences, metal stakes and golf carts.

Recommended areas of shelter include: the Merchandise Tent at the Main Entrance, the Grove between the 3rd and 9th Fairways; and for respective credential holders, the Clubhouse or Corporate Hospitality Tent or Volunteer Tent on the first fairway.
