PDGA Competition Manual
2.3 Reclassification
A. Professional to Amateur
- Players registered with the PDGA as Professionals may petition the Tour Manager for reclassification back to Amateur.
B. Amateur to Professional
- An Amateur wishing to change their classification to Professional may do so by contacting the PDGA office and requesting a Pro card.
- An Am player is automatically re-classified as Pro when the player has accepted cash while competing in a Pro division. Accepting prizes in lieu of cash or accepting money for winning an ancillary contest such as an ace pool does not cause a player to relinquish his or her amateur status.
