The Players Championship is going on as scheduled Thursday but starting Friday, it will do so without spectators.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced Thursday its flagship event will continue but fans will not be allowed onto the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass out of concerns about the coronavirus.
“This is a difficult situation, one with consequences that impact our players, fans and the communities in which we play,” Monahan said.
The Tour also said fans will not be permitted at tournaments through the Valero Texas Open, which begins April 2 in San Antonio.
Tour officials have been in daily contact with the CDC and WHO for updates.
