Players no longer will be penalized two shots for an incorrect scorecard if they were not aware of a rules violation when they signed their card.
The United States Golf Association and R&A also will no longer respond to most television viewers’ calls during the tournament.
The changes are part of a local rule effective Jan. 1.
Rescinding the scorecard penalty, famously applied to Lexi Thompson at the L.P.G.A. Tour’s first major last April, is part of a broader standard for using video.
Thompson had a three-shot lead in the final round of the ANA Inspiration when a TV viewer noticed she had improperly replaced her golf ball on the green during the third round.
