LPGA tightens pace-of-play policies for 2027

LPGA tightens pace-of-play policies for 2027

The Tour will fine even a first one-to-five-second shot-clock overage; six-to-15 seconds will bring a stroke penalty and fine. The across-hole timing threshold drops from 40 to 35, and the shot clock from 70 to 60 seconds. Nelly Korda and Charley Hull support tougher enforcement, though consistency in applying the rules remains an open question.
