The PGA Tour is reportedly set to unveil a revamped player content policy, which would loosen regulations on what and how players can share Tour-related content on social media.
Front Office Sports reported Friday morning that the updated policy was finalized during a Players Advisory Council subcommittee meeting held earlier this week ahead of the Truist Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to the report, players will soon be able to:
âThe PGA Tour strives to provide the most athlete-friendly social media guidelines in professional sports,â a PGA Tour spokesperson told Front Office Sports.
The news comes on the heels of comments made by LIV Golfâs Bryson DeChambeau, a two-time major champion who boasts nearly 2.7 million YouTube subscribers. DeChambeau told Skratchâs Garrett Johnston ahead of LIVâs event outside of Washington, D.C., that the PGA Tourâs social-media policy is a hurdle in a potential return should he decide not to renew his LIV contract at the end of this year.
âItâs one of them,â DeChambeau said. âIf you look at it, itâs affiliate marketing, so me being able to create content on that golf course that week at that event should only bring value to the tournament, and thatâs what I care about most, entertaining like Iâve always said from Day 1.â
DeChambeau added: âIf I was to film a video during the week of one of their events with a content creator or a celebrity, that would be in violation to my knowledge. Itâs their policy, they didnât let me do it when I was on there. I asked various times. They didnât let Grant Horvat or Garrett Clark do some videos during the Monday, Tuesday practice rounds. Thatâs the truth.â
Horvat, a popular golf influencer, declined an invite to compete in the Tourâs Barracuda Championship last summer because he wouldnât be allowed to film how own YouTube content during the week.
Itâs worth noting that the reported new policy wouldnât completely free up DeChambeau to create whatever YouTube content he wished during PGA Tour events. Players are still not allowed to collaborate or tag companies and sponsors outside of the Tourâs list of official partners, among other restrictions still in place.
âEverybody can tell me what I want to do, but I think what matters also is what makes me happy,â DeChambeau said. âItâs ever changing. It can always change based on new information. But I think doing a bunch of content creation and doing it more freely, and then also playing events that want me is great, itâs a great opportunity.â
