The American Professional Golf Tour (PGA) announced on the 7th (Korean time) that “next week’s Memorial Tournament will also not allow spectators.” They explained: “Due to the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), pro-am events will also not take place. » This tournament, scheduled to be held on the 16th at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, was originally planned as the first event to allow spectators since the COVID-19 outbreak.
The PGA Tour had completely suspended the 2020 season immediately after the first round of the Players Championship, known as the “fifth major,” in March, then resumed the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11, hosting four tournaments, including the RBC Heritage, the Travelers Championship and the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Following this week’s Workday Charity Open in Ohio, the schedule continues with the 3M Open in Minnesota on the 23rd and the World Golf Championships (WGC) FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Tennessee on the 30th.
