PGA Tour aims for larger field sizes to make up for lost playing opportunities

The PGA Tour continues to plan for play, as it is currently sidelined during the coronavirus pandemic, with a focus on how the circuit hopes to make up for lost playing opportunities.

There have been 11 events either cancelled or postponed this season because of the pandemic with next month’s Charles Schwab Challenge earmarked as the earliest play can restart.

“We are working around the clock to make adjustments to our future schedule,” the memo read.
