Mobile devices are allowed at the tournament if you follow these rules:

Device must be silent at all times
Calls may be placed or received in remote areas where conversations will not be heard by a player on the course. (Cell phones may be used at any location in the event of an emergency!)
Texting and e-mailing and downloading are permitted EXCEPT when a player is in a position to compete (i.e. when QUIET PLEASE signs are raised).
No audio, picture, or video capture with mobile device is permitted at any time.

Videos or photographs cannot be taken any time during competition rounds (Thursday-Sunday) but you can take video and photographs during practice rounds (Monday through Wednesday).
Flash photography is never permitted because it distracts the players.
Most players do not take pictures with fans. So, please do not ask for a photo unless the player asks you if you would like to have one taken with them.
Spectators that do not follow these rules or disrupt play with a mobile device will be asked to leave.

Scan the QR Code for the Digital Spectator Guide to see who is playing when, and whether they tee off of 1 tee or 10 tees.
It is appropriate for spectators to applaud or cheer successful strokes by a player, but excessive demonstrations are not appropriate because of the possible negative effects on other players.
Spectators should never applaud or cheer the misfortune of or misplay by a competitor.
When a player is preparing for a shot, stop walking and remain quiet until the player has hit the ball.
If you are following a group or player from hole to hole, remain quiet and still until all players in that group have completed their shots or putts, and then move.
Kneel or sit down if you are in front of a group of spectators.
Cooperate with the Course Marshals and all other tournament or PGA TOUR officials. Be quiet when asked and always stay behind the gallery ropes.
Be sure that your children are respectful of the players, other spectators and the course. Please be sure that they don’t run – it’s dangerous and may disrupt the players.
Stay hydrated as temperatures may reach 90 degrees in May. There will be concession areas selling a wide variety of food & beverage items.
A free, public first aid station is near the clubhouse.
This is a world class golf course – please treat it with respect. Don’t litter, don’t pull flowers, and stay on the cart path at all times.

Most players will be pleased to give you an autograph!
Best time to ask: Before or after a practice round. NEVER ask for an autograph during a player’s round.
Best place to ask: At the driving range and putting green.
