We will make sure to communicate this later date and rule clearly when we send qualified teams the event registration information.

All players must meet one of the following criteria in order to be eligible to compete in the USDGC Doubles Main event:

-Player is not a PDGA member or does not have a player rating and has never accepted cash in a PDGA event.

-Player has an Amateur Player Classification with the PDGA - meaning the player is classified as an amateur and plays in amateur divisions for prizes instead of cash. If a player plays in a Pro division and accepts cash at any time, they become classified as a Professional member. An Amateur class player has either never accepted cash, or if they have, they have later met the criteria to be reclassified from Professional back to Amateur with the PDGA.

A mixed group of pro and am class players is not allowed.
