Spectator Guidelines and FAQs
Please understand that these regulations are in place for the safety
of everyone in attendance, including spectators, PGA TOUR professionals,
volunteers and staff. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please:
Be Considerate
Please be considerate at all times for the PGA TOUR Professionals and other spectators by
making no unnecessary noise and refraining from making any movement, which would
disrupt play on the golf course.
Be alert for wayward shots at the Travelers Championship
Golf balls, especially on Pro-Am days, may inadvertently be hit into spectator areas at
any time.
Keep an eye on the sky
As the weather is unpredictable, we suggest you take the necessary precautions to avoid
being uncomfortable while watching the championship. Don't forget: Wear appropriate
and comfortable clothing and footwear; bring a hat or a visor; carry an umbrella and
suntan lotion. Watch the leader boards for "Weather Warnings." Travelers Championship
spectators are strongly urged to take precautions and seek shelter prior to play being
suspended. If sirens sound, put down your umbrella and seek shelter immediately. Avoid
small sheds and shelters (i.e. tents); isolated trees; tall trees; wire fences; hilltops; wide
open spaces; open fields; bodies of water and golf carts. Seek shelter in a depression in
the ground; deep valley; foot of a steep hill; dense woods; grove of trees; or buildings.
| Q: Are cell phones and pagers permitted? A: PGA TOUR regulations prohibit cell phones, PDAs, pagers and all other electronic devices, regardless of "silent" modes at all PGA TOUR events. If spectators bring cell phones and pagers, they will be asked to return the items to their car. Spectators will be denied admission until the devices are returned to their cars. The Travelers Championship is not responsible for lost/damaged cell phones or pagers if confiscated.
