  • The European Tour will monitor pace of play via a GPS tracking system at this week’s BMW PGA Championship in England. The tracking device will be placed on one golf bag in each group, and when that group completes a hole, information regarding its position will be relayed to officials. The Tour’s new regulations will increase fines for violating pace of play rules, and displays showing how each group is doing will be installed on every hole in 2020.
