Can’t wear earbuds in tournament play. Ever wonder why you don’t see pros wear them?
Rule 4.3a(4) outlines the precise restrictions regarding audio equipment during a competitive round:What is ALLOWED: You may listen to background audio, such as music, podcasts, or a sports broadcast, strictly for entertainment. However, it must not disturb other players in your group.What is NOT ALLOWED: You cannot use earbuds, headphones, or earplugs to consciously eliminate noise or block distractions. You are also forbidden from listening to any music that helps you establish a consistent rhythm or swing tempo
Bob, You say 2 different things, “You may listen to background audio, such as music, podcasts, or a sports broadcast, strictly for entertainment.”
Which is it? I asked the Pro and he said it was fine.
