Player Eligibility on the PGA TOUR:
Each PGA TOUR player has earned a position on the priority ranking system that will be used to select tournament fields throughout the season. To find the most recent Priority Rankings, please click here. Some tournaments have specific player eligibility which may mean that not all players may be eligible to participate in a particular week.
How are players schedules determined?
Each PGA TOUR member is an independent contractor and therefore sets his own individual schedule of events. The final field for all PGA TOUR events is not finalized until the Friday prior to the tournament week, after the player commitment deadline. Since each TOUR Player has a priority ranking for their exemption status, many TOUR Players do not know their full schedule until the last minute. Some of the TOUR Players who are exempt for each event may announce their schedule several weeks in advance on their personal websites. Their participation in an event is not considered official until the final deadline at 5 p.m. on Friday, prior to the event. Each Monday of tournament week, PGATOUR.COM will release the Full Field, and “Inside the Field."
Does the PGA TOUR have a dress code?
The PGA TOUR Player’s policy states that, “players shall present a neat appearance in both clothing and personal grooming. Clothing worn by players shall be consistent with currently accepted golf fashion.” Golf attire and fashion is always changing and evolving. T-shirts and jeans (for players) are considered inappropriate as are shorts (except practice rounds). Our officials monitor player appearance for violations while allowing players to express their own personal styles.
