The LPGA is implementing a new pace-of-play policy with reduced timing thresholds for fines and penalties, including a one-stroke penalty for golfers exceeding allotted time limits. The policy aims to expedite play on the women's professional golf tour and will be in effect starting March 27 at the Ford Championship.
The LPGA announced its new pace-of-play policy Thursday that includes lower timing thresholds for fines and penalties, including a new one-stroke penalty for golfers who take too long to hit their shots.
'I just want it to get better': From slow play to fewer tournaments, a lot of opinions on where golf needs to goPreviously, the LPGA fined golfers who were 1 to 10 seconds over the allotted time and assessed a two-stroke penalty to those who were more than 11 seconds over. LPGA golfers were informed of the new policy last week during a meeting at the Founders Cup in Bradenton, Florida.
