I get that, Kalen.
There is a color coded strip on the bottom of every badge that identifies the owner of the badge. Last year I heard security was randomly stopping patrons on the course, asking for their badge and the name associated with the badge. If they didn’t know who owned the badge it was confiscated and they were escorted from the grounds. The true badge owner was then informed his badge was permanently revoked. Not many who are lucky enough to have four-day tournament badges are willing to risk that.
I think most of the tickets being sold now are single day tickets won through the lottery.
