During the championship rounds from Thursday, August 22nd to Sunday, August 25th, the use of cameras and phones with cameras are strictly forbidden, unless you are part of the accredited press with the proper credentials. During the pre-tournament from Monday, August 19th to Wednesday, August 21st, cameras and phones with cameras will be permitted for general spectator use ONLY during practice rounds and the various Pro-Am competitions.
Dress Code
The event is golf casual. Dress comfortably as you may choose to be outside for the majority of the day walking to and from the CP Clubhouse Suite, CP Skybox and/or around the course.

If needed, parents with small children are allowed to bring strollers and diapers bags. These items are subject to reasonable inspection before entering, and/or at any time during the tournament.
Rain Policy
If rain becomes a factor during tournament play, play will continue as long as it is deemed safe to do so. The CP Clubhouse Suite and CP Skybox will be open rain or shine, however, it is recommended to proceed to the CP Clubhouse Suite until play resumes. Please ask the LPGA and tournament staff on-site should you have any questions regarding weather delays, these individuals will be informed about all changes to this policy.
Weather Warning and Suspension of Play
If weather becomes a factor during tournament play, a ‘Weather Warning’ notification will be posted on all electronic scoreboards throughout the grounds. Spectators are advised to take immediate precaution such as evacuating bleachers, skyboxes, and hospitality tents, as well as open areas, hilltops, isolated trees, golf carts and wired fences. If play is suspended, indicated by one long air-horn blast, please retract your umbrella and seek shelter immediately. Suspension in play means that there is a delay in play, not necessarily a cancellation.
Restrooms
Access to restrooms will be adjacent to concession areas and throughout Spectator Village. You can also use the restrooms in/outside the CP Clubhouse or CP Skybox as long as you have your respective pass with you. If you are unable to locate the restrooms please reach out to a tournament volunteer who will point you in the right direction.
Autograph Policy
Autographs may be requested and given at the players’ convenience during the practice rounds and Pro-Ams, Monday to Wednesday. Spectators should not approach a player for an autograph any time during the tournament from Thursday to Sunday. There will be a designated area called Autograph Alley, located between the CP Clubhouse Suite and CP Skybox, where players can sign autographs.
