COVID-19's latest effect on PGA Tour: Delayed release of tee times

DUBLIN, Ohio – The PGA Tour continues to adjust its policies and procedures as they relate to COVID-19.

Officials informed players Monday that tee times for Rounds 1 and 2 will now be released at 5 p.m. ET each Tuesday of tournament weeks. Normally tee times for the first and second rounds are published at about midday each Tuesday, but officials explained the move “will allow us to minimize adjustments to the groupings as related to testing results.”

Last week’s tee times for the Workday Charity Open are an example of the fluid world of coronavirus testing and how that impacts tournament operations.
