Barbasol Championship Open Qualifier Policies

 

Refunds:

Any player that enters the tournament and has to withdraw must do so BEFORE the July 5th (5:00 PM) entry deadline to be eligible for a 90% refund of the entry fee.  Any player withdrawing AFTER the entry deadline will not be eligible for a refund unless the reason for the withdraw meets the Kentucky Section PGA established criteria (substantiated medical or death in family reasons only).  In this case, the player that withdraws must submit a written request to teh attention of the Tournament Committee, including the reason for the withdraw.  The committee will determine whether the player is entitled to a 90% refund.  The written request must be received within 10 days of the withdraw.

 

Reduction/Cancellation:

Any reduction or cancellation in the respective qualifying competition shall be in accordance with Reduction/Cancellation Guidelines as found in the PGA TOUR Tournament Regulations.  In the event that the competition is canceled without any player having been able to play, all entry fees will be refunded.  In the event the competition is canceled after play has begun, all entry fees will be refunded, minus a $25 administrative charge per player.

 

If in the judgment of the on-site PGA TOUR Rules Official or designee, whose decision shall be final, conditions render commencement or continuation of tournament play inadvisable, play shall be postponed until such time as the PGA TOUR Rules Official or designee determines that such weather conditions or other occurrences or conditions have improved sufficiently for play to commence or resume.

In situations involving adverse weather conditions or any other occurrence or condition, our first priority is the completion of the qualifying competition.  Every effort will be made to achieve this objective by the end of the scheduled competition day.

 

In the event the qualifying competition cannot be completed by the end of the scheduled competitive day, play will be extended.  Every effort will be made to complete the qualifying competition as soon as possible.  The Open Qualifying competition will not continue beyond the end of the day immediately preceding the first scheduled tournament round of the competition.  In the event the 18-hole Open Qualifying is unable to be completed, qualifying spots will be filled by the next available players on the PGA TOUR Alternate List.

 

PGA TOUR Reserves the right to change the format, venue(s), qualifying spots and other criteria as presently contemplated.

 

Conduct:

While on host facility property during qualifying rounds players and caddies shall conduct themselves in a professional manner.  PGA TOUR reserves the right to remove a player from the qualifying competition for: non competitiveness; conduct unbecoming a professional by the player; conduct unbecoming a professional by the player's caddie.

 

A player or caddie conducting himself in a manner unbecoming a professional could result in the removal from the competition and/or disciplinary action from the PGA TOUR.  The conduct of his caddie is the responsibility of each player.

 

Spikes:

Soft spikes may be required during practice rounds and pre-qualifying at the discretion of the host facilities.
