We propose a covariant entropy bound in gravitational theories beyond general relativity (GR), using Wald-Jacobson-Myers entropy instead of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. We first extend the proof of the bound known in 4-dimensional GR to D-dimensional GR, f(R) gravity and canonical scalar-tensor theory. We then consider Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity as a more non-trivial example and, under a set of reasonable assumptions, prove the bound in the GR branch of spherically symmetric configurations. As a corollary, it is shown that under the null and dominant energy conditions, the generalized second law holds in the GR branch of spherically symmetric configurations of EGB gravity at the fully nonlinear level.

    For f(R) and scalar-tensor gravity, the dynamical black hole entropy formula is rederived via conformal frames and shown to equal the Wald entropy of a generalized apparent horizon.

    For four nonlinear-electrodynamics AdS black holes, isentropic absorption of a charged particle is classically forbidden but can proceed by WKB tunneling, with a suppression that grows with black-hole size and (mostly...
