ADMISSION POLICY

A ticket, once scanned, will no longer gain admission to the Championship grounds. If you plan to return to Harbor Shores the same day, please have security stamp your hand at one of the spectator entrances. You will only be able to return to the grounds with a scanned ticket and hand stamp. The only exception is when the Weather Warning signs have been posted. In this situation, a hand stamp will not be required for re-entry. Please display your ticket in plain view at all times as security personnel will not allow admission to the Championship for individuals without appropriate credentials.

JUNIOR ADMISSION POLICY

As part of the PGA of America’s mission to grow interest and participation in the game of golf, the Championship is excited to offer up to four complimentary junior admissions with every paid adult ticket. Junior admissions apply to youth age 17 and under, and may be obtained at the Admissions Office located at the main entrance on the day of entry. Please note, these tickets do not grant access into private hospitality venues.

MILITARY ADMISSION POLICY

To honor the men and women who serve our country in the Armed Forces, the Championship is pleased to offer Active, Retired, Reserve, National Guard, Veterans and their accompanying guest (limit one) complimentary daily grounds access to the Championship. Upon arrival, military personnel must go to the Admissions Office at the main entrance to present their military ID in exchange for daily admission. Please note, these tickets cannot be upgraded to alternative venues, but are eligible for the junior admission policy.
