Daily rhythm for fans
Thursday–Friday: Early wave tee times and the afternoon feature groups; Autograph Alley is best post‑round. Families can mix Fan Oasis downtime with visits to the Family Zone.
Saturday: Moving Day puts the 16–18 stretch in focus; hospitality boxes and the 18th grandstand are prime for late‑afternoon surges.
