USGA Mobile Device Policy

Below is the information for all USGA Ticketed Championships

The USGA encourages fans to capture their favorite moments at our championships and stay connected with family and friends while onsite. We have set guidelines on mobile device usage to ensure our players and other fans are not distracted or disrupted during the championship.

• Fans may carry mobile devices smaller than 7” in length and/or height.
• Device volume controls must be set to “silent” or “vibrate” and flash photography must be disabled.
• Phone calls should be limited to areas away from play and not in any area that may disrupt play, including grandstands. Make phones calls only in designated fan zones.
• Photography, video, and audio recording are permitted throughout the course, but content must not be used for commercial purposes.
• Live streaming or shot-by-shot coverage of any player (with or without video) is not permitted at any time throughout championship week. 
• No Selfie Sticks or Handheld Camera Stabilizers
