Tournament Exemption is a term used in golf, which allows a player to skip the qualifying rounds of a tournament and be automatically entered into the main event. The term BYE is often used in this context, as it is a three-letter abbreviation for the word 'BYE'. A BYE is a term used to describe a situation in which a player does not have an opponent in a round of a tournament, and thus advances to the next round without playing.
