PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. A teenager waited along the ropes circling the ninth green at TPC Sawgrass on Tuesday, less than 10 yards from a sign that read, No on-course autographs and Please use autograph areas.As Jason Dufner walked off the ninth green, he stopped to sign the young fans flag. It happens every week on the PGA Tour, but at The Players, Dufners gesture defied the circuits policy of not allowing autographs during practice rounds.I still sign for kids on the course. Ill flout the policy, Paul Casey said. How are you going to walk by a kid holding a flag? Youre not going to do that.Most players agree with Casey and Dufner with respect to the policy, which began in 2014 and was reinforced last week when Tour members were sent a reminder.At The Players on-course autographs during the practice rounds are PROHIBITED. We ask that you instead spend some time in the designated autograph zones at the entrance to the range and near scoring before or after your daily preparation, the reminder read.

According to Andy Pazder, an executive vice president with the Tour and chief of operations, the policy wasnt designed to speed up play.It was designed to allow our players to properly prepare themselves for the tournament, Pazder said. Practice is distraction-free. I remember two players telling me that to go from 16th green to 17th tee, it took them 20 minutes because of all the autograph request.That said, Pazder did concede faster practice rounds may be an ancillary benefit. Although he said theres no evidence that the policy has sped up play, the rounds do seem to be moving at a better pace, at least based on anecdotal evidence.Although most agree with anything that will speed up play, banning autographs during practice rounds does nothing to help the pace on Thursday and Fridays, when rounds last week at the Wells Fargo Championship drifted well past the five-hour mark.Its awful, said Casey of the pace of play during tournament rounds. No autographs on Thursday and Friday and pace of play is terrible, isnt it?Pazder said there are no plans to apply the same policy on autographs during practice rounds to other Tour events.
THE PLAYERS has designated "Autograph Zones" to allow fans the opportunity to meet their favorite players and get their signature. PGA TOUR players have been asked to spend time in the two designated autograph zones before and/or after play to sign autographs for fans. These zones allow more interaction between players and fans.

If you stick around after the game and it's a win, some players will stick around. But it's a fairly big crowd and thus still not entirely likely to get an autograph. I would recommend going to a player's autograph event (if you can) or writing a letter or something if you really want an autograph and just enjoy the game at the Q.
