The rule is set to take effect immediately and was introduced after a meeting of the DP World Tour Tournament Committee in April.
Players who don’t yell “Go!” » They will be subject to tougher sanctions at the appropriate time during DP World Tour and Challenge Tour events, a European Tour Group spokesman confirmed. At an April 15 tournament committee meeting, it was decided that because of “the serious nature of ‘hitting the ball’ in tournaments,” players and caddies should follow traditional etiquette when there is a risk of hitting a golf ball by someone.
If this is not done “when it is apparent to the tournament director that this should be done,” the player in question will be considered to have violated the rules and will be subject to “appropriate sanctions.” The DP World Tour said the exact punishments are “not pre-determined” and “may vary depending on the circumstances.”
The DP World Tour statement, posted on its Player Information Portal and posted on X earlier this week, read: “Players are reminded to use ‘Forward!'” which remains the traditional warning/etiquette expected when there is a risk of hitting someone (see Rules of Golf 1.2, Behaviour Expected of All Players) and F.I. 2 of the DP World Tour (and Challenge Tour). (b) requires everyone to “obey the generally accepted standards of golf etiquette.”
“All players and caddies are therefore reminded that the use of such warnings is expected whenever there is a risk of injury or of the ball hitting someone and is mandatory when the shot is likely to land outside the line of the ropes.” “Considering the seriousness of ‘ball striking’ during tournaments, it was agreed after the Tournament Committee meeting on 15 April 2024 that if a player fails to shout ‘BEFORE’ in cases where it is clear to the Tournament Director, that should be the case. In this case, the player will be deemed to have violated the regulations and will be subject to appropriate sanctions.
