Sibling Exemptions

Exemptions for siblings will be extremely limited and only available in age groups that do not fill up or do not have a waiting list. Players who request a sibling exemption for the World Championship, and meet the exemption requirements, will be placed on a sibling exemption waiting list. We will begin reviewing the sibling waitlist starting June 20th. Upon review, qualified siblings will only be accepted on a space-available basis and by Priority Status Level. Age Groups with significant demand will not be eligible for Sibling Exemptions.

Meeting the sibling exemption requirements DOES NOT guarantee entry into the event. Only players with Priority Status Level 5 and up are eligible for a possible exemption.

Please visit our Sibling Exemption Policy for more information regarding requirements.

Caddie Bib

Caddie bib names must be ordered at the time of event registration and the cost is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend the event, your name can be mailed to you after completion of the tournament if the tournament department is notified.

All caddie bibs and names will be available for pickup at event registration. Players will not have an opportunity to order a name at the event but will receive a caddie bib at player registration.
