Dell Technologies Championship Bag Policy

Let’s be honest for a second. You’re probably not packing for the Dell Technologies Championship like you’re heading to a week-long safari. But you are probably stuffing a bag with sunscreen, a hoodie, and maybe a secret granola bar.

Before you walk through those gates, you need to know the bag policy. Think of it as the bouncer at a really exclusive club—but instead of checking for a VIP list, they’re checking for size.

The "Purse vs. Backpack" Drama

Here’s the thing: clear bags are your best friend. Imagine this: you’re at the grocery store checkout, and you suddenly realize you forgot your reusable bags. Annoying, right? Now imagine that at the golf course, but you can’t bring in your favorite tote.

The rule is simple. Bags larger than 6” x 6” x 6” are a no-go unless they’re completely transparent. So, that cute leather crossbody? It stays in the car. But a clear stadium bag? You’re golden.

It’s like the difference between bringing a full-sized beach umbrella to a pool party versus a tiny folding chair. One makes you look prepared; the other makes you look like you misread the invitation.

What About My Camera and Snacks?

You love taking photos of the players hitting a perfect drive. I get it. But camera cases count as bags. You can still bring your camera, but it needs to be in a clear bag or just slung around your neck.

Snacks are a little trickier. You can bring factory-sealed water and one snack per person. So, leave the homemade trail mix at home—unless you want to watch the security guard sniff it like a suspicious artisanal cheese.

Think of it like a school field trip. You pack light, you pack smart, and you definitely don’t bring anything that might explode (or crumble into dust in your pocket).

Why Should You Even Care?

Because nobody wants to be that person standing at the security gate, holding a rejected bag while the line behind you sighs dramatically. “Sorry, sir, you’ll have to walk back to the car.” That’s a ten-minute walk, and the sun is already hot.

Also, knowing the policy makes you feel like a pro. You roll up with your tiny clear bag, your ID handy, and you breeze through while everyone else is digging through their giant purse looking for a lip balm. You feel like a VIP—even if you’re just here to watch the 18th hole.

Plus, it keeps the course safe. Nobody wants a random bag sitting around causing problems. This policy is less about ruining your day and more about making sure everyone has a good, safe time.

The One-Liner Cheat Sheet

Here’s what you need to remember: Small, clear, or no bag at all. If you bring a diaper bag, it’s okay—but you’ll get a search. Yes, even if it’s just for the baby’s pacifier and a tiny onesie.

And ladies, I know you love that wristlet. But if it’s bigger than 6 inches, it’s a wristlet no more—it’s a problem. Tuck it into a clear bag and call it a day.

So, before you leave the house, do a quick bag check. Pretend you’re going through airport security, but without taking off your shoes. Your future self—the one sipping lemonade while watching Rory McIlroy—will thank you.
