2019 Pga Championship Bag Policy

So, You're Headed to the 2019 PGA Championship? Let's Chat Bag Policy!

Alright, folks, listen up! You're packing your bags (literally) for the 2019 PGA Championship, and you're wondering, "What's the deal with this bag policy?" Well, buckle up, 'cause we're about to dive in like a kid in a candy store.

First Things First: The Size Matters

Now, imagine you're at the grocery store, and they tell you, "Sorry, buddy, your shopping cart's too big." That's basically what the PGA's saying about bags that are larger than 10" x 7" x 12". So, leave your Mary Poppins' carpetbag at home, yeah?

What's the Big No-No?

You know how your mom always said, "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight"? Well, the PGA's saying, "Don't bring a weapon to our golf tournament." That means no firearms, no knives (except for those teeny-tiny Swiss Army ones), and no clubs longer than 20 inches. Oh, and leave your selfie sticks at home, too. We know, we know, but rules are rules.

Now, Let's Talk About the Good Stuff

You're probably thinking, "But what can I bring?" Well, let's start with the obvious: your golf bag, with your clubs and balls. You can also bring food and drinks (yes, even your favorite craft beer – just make sure it's in a clear bag), and a pair of binoculars to spot your favorite golfer from afar.

What's in a Name?

You might be wondering, "What's this 'credentialed media' thing I keep hearing about?" Well, it's just a fancy way of saying, "Hey, you with the press pass, you can bring a bigger bag." But if you're like the rest of us, you'll have to stick to the 10" x 7" x 12" rule.

And Finally, the Bag Check

Now, you might be thinking, "Great, I've packed the perfect bag, but what if it's too big?" Well, don't worry, the PGA's got you covered. They'll have bag checks at the entrance, so you can leave your bag there, grab your ticket, and pick it up on your way out. It's like leaving your coat at the cloakroom, but for your bag. Fancy, huh?

And That's a Wrap!

So there you have it, folks! The 2019 PGA Championship bag policy, broken down into simple, easy-to-understand rules. Now, go forth, enjoy the tournament, and remember: size matters, but only when it comes to your bag. Oh, and leave the knives at home. Trust us on this one.
