JERSEY CITY, N.J. – There won’t be a trophy handed out at the Northern Trust on Sunday.
The PGA Tour announced that based on the projected path of Tropical Storm Henri and the Tropical Storm Warning that has been issued by the National Hurricane Center for the area where the tournament is located, there will be no play on Sunday, Aug. 22.
Instead, the final round will be played on Monday. Tee times and groupings for Round 4 will be published on Sunday afternoon, with play on Monday slated to begin no earlier than 7:30 a.m.
The first FedEx Cup Playoff event is situated near the western edge of the projected cone for Tropical Storm Henri, which is predicted to become a hurricane before it makes landfall Sunday morning.
The Northern Trust is at Liberty National, sitting tight to the water just across the bay from New York and the Statue of Liberty.
Henri isn’t the first storm to disrupt the tournament. In 2011, Hurricane Irene made landfall and forced the cancellation of the final round of the Barclays, as the tournament was then known. It was then played at Plainfield Country Club in New Jersey, and the event was abbreviated after 54 holes with Dustin Johnson the winner. Plainfield was flooded in that storm.
