Can I enter tournaments by email or by post?
No. All tournament entries must be done online. If the closing date for a tournament has passed then the
Member must phone the PGA Tournament Department on +44 (0) 1675 468380 if he wishes to enter.
When is payment taken for a tournament?
All entry fees are taken on the closing date after the close of entries for that tournament and will only be
taken if you have gained a place in the final field. This allows Members to enter numerous tournaments at one
time without the payment for those tournaments all coming out at once. The only exception to this is entry fee
for Qualifying School, where the payment is taken upon acceptance of entry which usually takes up to 24
hours from the time of entering.
How will I know if I am in the tournament or on the reserve list?
An email will automatically be generated to you on the closing date informing you either that your entry has
been successful or that you are on the reserve list. You can also see your tournament status by looking on
your player profile and/or looking at the tournament information page for that tournament through the
website www.europrotour.com or the App.
My payment has rejected, am I still in the tournament?
If your payment has rejected this means you have not lost your place in the field providing you arrange
payment as soon as possible and do so by no later than close of registration. It is the player’s responsibility to
re-arrange payment by calling the PGA EuroPro Tournament entries department. An automated email will be
sent from BlueGolf following any rejected payments. If a player wishes to withdraw following a rejected
payment they must inform the PGA EuroPro Tournament entries department as the player may still be liable
for any withdrawal fees.
How will I know if I get into a tournament from the reserve list?
A member of PGA staff will always phone you to inform you that a spot has become available should you wish
to take it. You will then be given the choice to either accept the place in the field or turn down the place. If
you do not wish to take the place in the field then there will be no withdrawal fee. Please note that at certain
times, particularly during the tournament week, the Tournament Director may impose maximum response
times from players on the reserve list as per the Tour Regulations.
How do I withdraw from a tournament?
Withdrawals can be done by the Member online through their BlueGolf profile up until the Friday before the
tournament week. After this time the Member must phone either PGA National Tournament Department or the
Tournament Office at the relevant venue to withdraw. Please note that withdrawals after the closing date for a
tournament may incur a withdrawal fee - please refer to PGA EuroPro Tour Regulations 2015.
How is the field for a regular tournament determined?
Every Member will fall into one of the exemption categories. On the closing date of the tournament all entries
will be ranked in Category order and the top 156 (for a max 156 field) minus spaces for tournament invites,
categories 5 and categories 8 will be entered into the tournament. All other entries will be placed on a reserve
list, again in Category and ranking order. For those players who enter after the closing date, they will be
placed at the bottom of the reserve list regardless of their category and ranking.
How do I find out information relating to a tournament?
Log on to the website www.europrotour.com and click on the schedule tab. Next to each tournament there will
be an “info” link which will take you to the tournament information page for each tournament. This will detail
everything from practice times, accommodation deals, trolley hire, catering information and other venue
details. Here you can also find information regarding reserve lists, starting times and scoring. This information
is also available via the App.
What is the groove rule policy for 2015?
It has been decided that the Condition of Competition designed to restrict the use of certain types of grooves
in clubs will come into effect at all PGA EuroPro Tour administered tournaments for 2015.
All PGA EuroPro Tour Members must therefore ensure that they have conforming equipment in order to play
within the Rules at all PGA EuroPro Tour Tournaments including qualifying school.
