The update to the Rule is the first of what appears to be many to come. In a press release, the USGA and R&A jointly announced that the governing bodies will continue to modernize the Rules with a thorough review of existing amateur status guidelines, and will seek input from elite amateur golfers, golf event organizers, national golf associations, professional golf associations and other industry partners.
“It is our goal to ensure that the fundamental concept of what it means to be an amateur golfer is clear and retained to promote fair competition and enjoyment for everyone, while still addressing many issues that seek to protect the game,” said Thomas Pagel, senior managing director of Governance at the USGA. “This is a forward-thinking approach and engaging golfers is a key component of doing what’s best for golf.”
The goal of the review is to have a modernized set of Amateur Status Rules in place by late 2021, which will go into effect on January 1, 2022.
