Danielle Kang – owner of the major Women’s PGA Championship – whispered over the phone right before the Tournament of Champions sub-match on January 24.

On the way to the teeing ground, Kang walked while calling. “I called my mom, brother, and Butch Harmon to report the coming into the pit. But they got the situation. Butch, I shared the feeling of being stuck on the swing. He told me to understand what to do. I made a decision, “Kang said Golfweek on January 27, but keep Harmon’s advice secret. The problem is that Harmon trains Kang in polishing techniques.

However, Kang did not break the rules when calling for help from Harmon regardless of the exchange between the two sides because he had completed 18 holes as defined in the definition of “standard round” under Article 5.1 of the golf rule. “Stroke play depends on the new round, so there is no advisory penalty until the playoff,” explains Kathryn Belanger, assistant director of law at the American Golf Association.
