75% Completion Policy, 3rd Round Only - For only the 3rd round of the Philadelphia PGA Professional Championship, the 75% Completion Policy has been modified which is as follows:

If less than 75% of the field completes play for the 3rd round only, the 3rd round would be canceled and the event would revert back to results after round 2. If at least 75% of the field completes play for the 3rd round only, the event will be completed either that day or the following morning if needed. That would include a playoff if necessary.  A "No Card" and "Disqualification" are considered part of the starting field and considered having completed play. A player who has withdrawn from the event before starting play is not considered part of the starting field, while someone who withdraws after starting play for an acceptable reason is considered part of the starting field and is considered to have completed play.

For all other one (1) day events, the following policy will apply:

 

If seventy-five percent (75%) of the starting field has completed play and it will be unfeasible for the others to do so on that day, the tournament pay out shall be re-calculated on the basis of the number completing play. Those participants unable to complete play shall be deemed noncompetitors and will be refunded their entry fee. If less than seventy-five (75%) of the starting field completed play, the event will be postponed and canceled. A "No Card" and "Disqualification" are considered part of the starting field.  A player who has withdrawn from the event before starting play is not considered part of the starting field, while someone who withdraws after starting play for an acceptable reason is considered part of the starting field and is considered to have completed play.

 

Clubhouse Availability - The clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant and halfway house are available for all competitors.  Both courses will have lunch available after your round.

 

CutThe field will be cut to the low 60 and ties after the completion of round 2.
