Last updated: Saturday, December 31, 2022 - 22:50

    1. Players registered with the PDGA as Professionals may petition the PDGA Memberships Manager or PDGA Director of Event Support for reclassification as Amateurs, but they must meet all requirements to reclassify.
    2. Players must meet all requirements in order to reclassify.
  2. Amateur to Professional
    1. An Amateur wishing to change their classification to Professional may do so by contacting the PDGA Memberships Manager.
    2. An Amateur player is automatically reclassified as Professional when the player has accepted cash while competing in a Professional division (see 1.10.A and 1.10.B). Accepting cash for winning an ancillary contest such as an ace pool, top-of-the-card round prize, or CTP contest does not cause a player to relinquish their amateur status.
    3. Accepting cash for winning an ancillary contest such as an ace pool, top-of-the-card round prize, or CTP contest does not cause a player to relinquish their amateur status.
