The LPGA Tour will distribute stricter punishments in 2027 to those who violate pace of play regulations.
Players were informed of the changes by the Pace of Play Committee on Tuesday during a meeting at The Annika in Belleair, Fla.
Previously, two warnings were given before a fine was levied for golfers who took one to five seconds over their allotted time to hit a shot. Now, the warnings are a thing of the past, meaning a fine will come on the first offense.
A first offense will net a $2,000 fine, a second offense will receive a $4,000 fine and a third offense will get an $8,000 fine.
A $2,000 fine also will be included along with a one-stroke penalty if a golfer is six to 15 seconds over the allotted time, and a fine -- based on season infractions -- will be accompanied by a two-shot penalty if 16 seconds or more are needed.
'I'm a big fan,' World No. 1 Nelly Korda said of the changes. 'Anything to get the game a little faster for us players, for fans, for everyone, I think they're doing a really good job. I mean, at the end of the day, no one wants to be out here for five-plus hours. No player wants to. Nobody wants to watch it. I think we're just moving in the right direction.'
