PGA Tour to Play on Without Spectators
Amid growing concerns over the global spread of coronavirus, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced Thursday that the remainder of The Players Championship will be played without spectators.
"At this point in time PGA Tour events, across all tours, will currently proceed as scheduled but will do so without fans," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said.
"This will begin at The Players Championship tomorrow and through the Valero Texas Open."
Monahan said he's been in contact with White House and the Florida Governors office which both supported the precautionary measures the Tour had taken leading into playing Thursday's first round at TPC Sawgrass.
