It’s official — spectators are part of the plan for the 45th edition of The Memorial Tournament, when it takes place in Columbus, Ohio, this July.
That state’s governor, Mike DeWine, announced during a press briefing on Friday that he has approved the Memorial Plan for Fans.
Previously, Memorial Tournament director Dan Sullivan addressed changes coming to the PGA Tour event, which because of the coronavirus pandemic was moved from June 4-7 to July 16-19. As part of the Virtual Sports Report put on by the Greater Columbus Sports Commission, Sullivan outlined what this summer’s event will look like, leaving wiggle room due to the uncertainty of planning caused by COVID-19.
There’s no word yet on whether another PGA Tour event, which will precede the Memorial in Columbus, will have spectators.
