This is to prevent players from flying the ball to the fairway of another hole to make a detour on the course.

The PGA Tour announced on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that it will set the 10th hole fairway as an OB zone for players playing in the 18th hole (par 5) before the first round of the Tour Championship begins, and the 7th hole fairway as an OB zone for players playing in the 6th hole (par 5). 메이저놀이터

As a result, if you fly the ball to the fairway of the adjacent hole, you have to get one penalty and hit the ball again where you first hit it.

However, there are no white piles between these holes that mark the OB area.

Hole 18 is considered a hole where it is difficult to directly target the green because there is a water hazard on the fairway.

For this reason, players such as Scottie Scheffler of the U.S., who is ranked first in the FedEx Cup, said, "I will use a strategy to attack the green by flying the ball to the fairway at the adjacent hole No. 10 before the competition."

Similarly, if you send the ball to the fairway on the 7th hole next to you at the 6th hole, you can see the effect of shortening the distance to the green.

As the number of players who want to make such a detour increases, the PGA Tour explained, "For the safety of the audience, the fairway of the adjacent hole is set as the OB zone."

The Tour Championship, the final playoff game, will be held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia for four days from the 29th local time.
