SALT LAKE CITY — When the PGA Tour starts back up Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas, for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, three local golfers will be competing in what will be a historic golf tournament of sorts.
It’s the first PGA Tour tournament in more than three months since the coronavirus shut down all sporting events around the world as well as much of society. Unless you count NASCAR and Motocross, it’s the first live major sporting event to be contested in the United States.
Of the three local golfers entered, two are obvious — Tony Finau and Zac Blair, two native Utahns who are exempt members of the PGA Tour.
