Former major champion Mark Calcavecchia was escorted from Augusta National during the Masters for using a cell phone, violating the tournament’s strict no-phone policy; Augusta National hasn’t commented, and Calcavecchia did not dispute the report when contacted.

Comedian Pete Davidson berated and kicked out a fan who violated his no-phone policy during his stand-up show at City Winery. The attendee was escorted out by security and had all content removed from their three phones. Davidson claimed to pay $10,000 to enforce the rule. He continued his set without addressing the interruption. Locked phones have become common at comedy shows, with devices placed in sealed pouches. During his performance, Davidson discussed personal topics such as addiction and his attempts to set up his mother with a suitor. He also joked about his car crash history and receiving a reckless driving charge.
