PGA TOUR Volunteer Challenge - Official Rules 2017
The goal of the Program is to host a fair and accurate competition to determine a winning Volunteer or
Team by popular vote. Volunteers and Teams are encouraged to invite friends and family to vote and may
use any official tools and promotional materials provided by Sponsor or the participating PGA TOUR tournament. Attempting to manipulate votes in any way, including but not limited to, using technology, creating
multiple accounts or accounts on behalf of voters, using third party online voting sites to solicit votes, soliciting or participating in voting trading with other nominees, is inappropriate conduct and may result in removal from the Program. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any Volunteer or Team who has entered
the Program incorrectly or has used marketing materials, language or conduct that is not in line with the
spirit of the Program as determined by Sponsor.
5. TO VOTE FOR A VOLUNTEER OR TEAM: During the Voting Period, visit the Program site at www.tourchallenge.com and click on the Program link. Select a PGA TOUR tournament for a list of registered Volunteers and Teams at that tournament. Click on the Volunteer’s name or Team name of your choice and
fully complete the on-line registration form with all required information, including your first and last name,
gender, date of birth and valid email address to submit your vote. As an alternative, instead of voting for a
particular Volunteer or Team, you have the option of voting for a participating PGA TOUR tournament.
Votes must be submitted prior to each participating PGA TOUR tournament Voting end date listed above
to be eligible.
Limit one (1) vote per person/email address. You may only vote in the Program once. Votes received
from any person or email address in excess of the stated limit will be void. Use of script, macro or any
automated system to vote or with the intent to impair the integrity of the voting process is prohibited and all
such votes will be void. Votes obtained by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public, payment for votes or offering to trade
votes, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, may result in those votes being void and the volunteer(s) and Team being disqualified.
Registrations or Votes submitted outside of the Voting Period for each participating PGA TOUR tournament
will not be accepted. The clock on Sponsor’s computer will be the official clock for the Program. Registrations or Votes received via script, macro, automated computer program or any non-human mechanism,
entity, or device, and Registrations that are late, tampered with, incomplete, garbled, delayed, misdirected,
lost, misplaced, or otherwise not in compliance with these Official Rules will be disqualified. Promotion
Entities not responsible for technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to, electronic malfunctioning of any network, Internet Service Provider (ISP), technical malfunctions, lost/delayed data transmission, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, line failures or any telephone network, computer hardware or
software; any failed, incomplete, garbled or delayed computer transmissions or any combination thereof;

computer related to or resulting from entering, participating in, or accessing or downloading information in
connection with this Program. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual
it finds tampering with the operation or entry process of the Program, or acting in violation of these Official
Rules.
6. “WINNING” VOLUNTEER OR TEAM: The Volunteer or Team with the most votes received during each
Voting Period will be deemed the potential winning Volunteer or Team for the PGA TOUR tournament under
which they registered, subject to winner confirmation. There is a maximum of one (1) winning Volunteer or
Team per PGA TOUR tournament. In the event of a tie between two or more Volunteers and/or Teams, the
Sponsor will conduct a random drawing between the tied Volunteers and/or Teams to determine the one
(1) winning Volunteer or Team. If the Volunteer or Team selected by random draw is from Canada, as part
of the winner confirmation process, the Volunteer or each Volunteer member of Team must first correctly
answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical, skill-testing
question.
To be confirmed a winner, each potential winning Volunteer or Team member (Volunteer) must, if required
by Sponsor, provide proof of identity; be in full compliance with these Official Rules; and sign and return
within the specified time, Sponsor’s Declaration of Compliance with the Official Rules / Release of Liability

above, then Sponsor will disqualify the Volunteer or Team and confirm the Volunteer or Team with the next
highest number of votes.
