European Tour Reverses Course on Allowing Spectators at the Scottish Open

THE EUROPEAN TOUR ABANDONED its plan to allow 650 spectators per day at the Scottish Open.

Here's the tour's statement:

In light of the recent update to the Scottish Government's Covid-19 guidelines, the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open will now be played without spectators.

A robust and thorough plan had been put in place, in close collaboration with the Scottish Government, to welcome a limited number of spectators over the weekend at the Renaissance Club as part of a series of pilot sporting and cultural events being considered in Scotland to help support the return of spectators to events.
