PGA Tour returns
The PGA Tour is set to return Thursday at Colonial Country Club with the Charles Schwab Challenge. The event will be played without fans and will implement several safety practices while coronavirus still spreads throughout the United States. It’s the first Tour event since March.
The fans are coming back
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Friday the PGA Tour’s annual stop in Dublin, Ohio, will allow fans to attend. The first four events on the Tour’s revised calendar prohibit patrons. DeWine also announced the Marathon LPGA Classic will host spectators July 23-26 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.
Heroes of the Week
Our Heroes of the Week don’t need us to tell their stories for them. They just need us to listen. This week, Beth Ann Nichols, Julie Williams and JuliaKate E. Culpepper spent hours listening to golfers from across the country, in all age groups and roles, speak about their experiences being black in America, watching protests and why change needs to take place in our culture and in golf. Each of these powerful stories can be read on our website.
