2001 Player Handbook

6. Summary of Penalties During Round
First Offense: Three timings exceeding 40 seconds to play a stroke,
one stroke penalty.
Second Offense: One more timing (a total of four) exceeding 40
seconds to play a stroke -- two stroke penalty and
$50 fine.
Subsequent Offense: One more timing (a total of five) exceeding 40
seconds to play a stroke -- disqualification and $100 fine.

NOTE: In the administration of these pace of play guidelines, a member of the Rules Committee shall not tolerate abuse, oral or otherwise, by a player. Such abuse constitutes conduct unbecoming a professional.

If it is clearly visible to a Tour Official that a player or players are repeatedly exceeding the allotted time to play a stroke, that player or players pace of play may be monitored even though the player or player's group is not out of position. A player being monitored under these conditions will be penalized if he exceeds 50 seconds to play a stroke three times during the play of a hole, or four times over two consecutive holes. A player will not be informed by Tour Officials of monitoring and timing under these circumstances unless asked by the player.

7. Appeals
Any appeal of a penalty and fine must be referred to the Tournament Director immediately upon completion of the player in question's round. The Tournament Committee's decision shall be final.
