Less than one day after the NBA announced it is suspending its season for the foreseeable future, the PGA tour made waves sure to disappoint many of its fans.
CNBC further reports:
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announced Thursday that The Players Tournament in Ponte Verda, Florida and all tournaments in the near future will go on as planned, but without spectators due to the spread of the coronavirus. The policy goes into effect Friday.
The commissioner said he spoke with President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis earlier Thursday and is in constant communication with local health officials.
“It goes without saying that this is an incredibly fluid and dynamic situation,” Monahan said. “We have been and are committed to being responsible, thoughtful and transparent with our decision process.”
The new policy continues through the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, Texas that ends on April 5. The Tour also announced the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship will be postponed as a result of travel advisories issued. It was originally scheduled for March 26 through 29 in Punta Cana, Mexico.
Florida has reported 29 confirmed cases of coronavirus so far.

With no fans around there should be a lot less pressure. I wonder if we will see really – unusually low scores?
Does anyone remember the swine flu when the coon was in the WH? 1700 children, and young people died from it.
On the other hand, the PGA plan to continue gives fans at home all over the opportunity to continue watching what is great sport well suited for television. Hopefully The Masters will follow this lead.
NO MASTERS..
NO PROBLEM SEE ON TV..
Our Big Ass Mistake America – first letters of each word spell out OBAMA. Democrats are terrorist. Trump 2020
Panic caused by MSM. This is all a farce. No younger people have died and almost all of the deaths have affected older people with medical conditions. This is all a scheme by the left to try and steal an election because they know they can’t beat him straight up. How many deaths? 30. The flu kills on average over 20,000 year. Where’s the panic? Where was the panic when the spine flu killed over 17,000 in 2009 including children. Nothing shut down. Obama didn’t ban travel. In fact he did nothing till a thousand people died. Trump has done all he can do and because of that we are not experiencing what China and rest of the world is experiencing . Calm down people. Stop listening to the MSMtraitors. They have never given a crap about you. It’s all about power. Why should I shut down my life? It’s ridiculous. Wash your hands, don’t cough without covering up and wear mask if needed, but live your life. Unless you have previous medical conditions you’re not going to die. We are no where close to a pandemic. This is no Spanish flu or swine flu for that matter.
I agree but the problem is people are ignorant and don’t cover their mouth. Nor stay the heck home when sick. Plus the young can be a carrier and spread it around without knowing. Next thing you know grandma and grandpa is in the hospital.
Well the TV ratings should go up. Even without Tiger!
