The year has changed, but golf on the PGA Tour will be largely as we saw it when 2020 came to a close: virtually no spectators, weekly COVID-19 testing and possible withdrawals, Dustin Johnson as a solid No. 1 in the world, Bryson DeChambeau bombing tee shots, and never-ending speculation about where Tiger Woods will play and his level of competitiveness.
After a 13-week break because of the pandemic in 2020, the PGA Tour resumed in June and played 23 straight tournament weeks with the only interruption coming for Thanksgiving. It was a rather remarkable feat, given all the COVID-19 challenges that included player and caddie travel to different locations and no bubble like several team sports employed.
