Woah, just looked at what is going on in Puerto Rico and DeChambeau is tied for the lead. Would not have expected that.

Howell has a 3 footer to stay alive and Rahm takes pity on him by conceding it

EUR in position to go 4-0 vs USA in the round of 16. Rahm has the makings of a Ryder Cup beast.

Correct. Basically any professional or USGA event all golfers receive this. In DJ's case at the PGA the local rule was also posted all over the locker room.

Sadly, most golfers on every level simply chuck the info inside the bag never to be read. Once, in a mini-tour event, on the rules sheet there was a line stating $100 to the first person to show this to an official. Heard it took 10 groups off both sides before somebody noticed it. Sadly I was in the afternoon wave that day.

no

The winner of the Puerto Rico Open earns 300 FedEx Cup points and 24 OWGR points, compared to 550 FedEx Cup and 70-80 OWGR points for World Golf Championships. As an alternate event, the winner does not earn a bid to the Masters, but still receives a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour (compared to three for a WGC event) and entry into the PGA Championship as a Tour winner.
