I suppose I have to consider the possibility that maybe people are simply LYING here, and nobody is actually out there doing volunteer work for the world's wealthiest company. I dont think anyone was lying, and it's clear the NDA didn't prevent Lucy's mom from saying that no cash changed hands. In fact, I'm sure all the parties wanted that to come out. But I'm willing to bet that same NDA is preventing her from saying what her relationship will be with Apple starting on the day she turns pro. I don't think Lucy's game is anywhere near ready to compete on the LPGA Tour, and I can't believe she'll start doing the Monday Qualifying grind ala Brooke.

Rule 6:2 states “even if no payment or compensation is received, an amateur golfer is deemed to receive a personal benefit by promoting, advertising or selling anything, or allowing his name or likeness to be used by a third party for the promotion, advertisement or sale of anything.”
Sometimes the solution to rules enforcement is deciding after-the-fact that upon further reflection, the rule is idiotic (like the section above) and should be ignored and abolished.
BTW, nobody has mentioned the enforcement section of the rule (below)...there are enough weasel words to make it look like Loophole City...unless there's proof of payment/compensation, they should drop this and leave her alone.
Rule 8 - Procedure for Enforcement of the Rules
8-1. Decision on a Breach
If a possible breach of the Rules by a person claiming to be an amateur golfer comes to the attention of the Committee, it is a matter for the Committee to decide whether a breach has occurred. Each case will be investigated to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee and considered on its merits. The decision of the Committee is final, subject to an appeal as provided in these Rules.
8-2. Enforcement
Upon a decision that a person has breached the Rules, the Committee may declare the Amateur Status of the person forfeited or require the person to refrain or desist from specified actions as a condition of retaining his Amateur Status.
The Committee should notify the person and may notify any interested golf union or association of any action taken under Rule 8-2.
8-3. Appeals Procedure
Each Governing Body should establish a process or procedure through which any decision concerning enforcement of these Rules may be appealed by the person affected.

Come to think of it there isn't much difference between being in an Apple Ad and being in some story for Global Golf Post so they can sell help oil.

I've seen Double-L up-close three times since 2016...she could play decent or better on the Symetra Tour NOW...she is definitely WAY BETTER than a few of the cast-offs I saw at Valley Forge last year. At her best, she is an amazing little ballstriker...sort of like The Old Ko as an amateur before Leadbetter ruined her...savant-like in her control of the ball. Driving distance is her obvious problem and LPGA courses aren't getting shorter. However, I'd love to see her get an invite to the Seaview...at 6,217 yards, the rest of the field wouldn't be able to run away from her so easily.

Well, for what it's worth (not much, I know), she's lost me as a fan for the rest of her natural life.

I suspect they will be "fact finding" on the Li case until her 18th birthday at this rate.

Meanwhile there are men who literally play professional golf and then become amateur again.
