PGA Tour to hold minute of silence at 8:46 a.m. local time at events this week

FORT WORTH, Texas – The PGA Tour plans to observe a minute of silence, beginning with Thursday’s opening round at the Charles Schwab Challenge, to “amplify the voices and efforts underway to end systemic issues of racial and social injustices impacting our country."

Tees times for this week’s Tour event at Colonial (CT) and the Korn Ferry Tour event at TPC Sawgrass (ET) will feature a time with no names attached at 8:46 a.m., local. Eight minutes, 46 seconds is the length of time prosecutors say George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was pinned to the ground under a Minneapolis police officer's knee before he died on May 25.
