PGA Tour cancels The Players Championship, next 3 tournaments amid coronavirus outbreak

After just one round of play, the PGA Tour has called off The Players Championship.

The Tour announced the move late on Thursday night after play had ended for the day at TPC Sawgrass amid the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. The league also canceled all events across all of its Tours — including the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Champions — through the Valero Texas Open.

“It is with regret that we are announcing the cancelation of The Players Championship,” the Tour said in a statement. “We have also decided to cancel all PGA Tour events — across all of our Tours — in the coming weeks, through the Valero Texas Open.
