Following the postponement of The Masters last week, the latest major to be affected is the US PGA Championships which will now be postponed until later in the year.
The PGA of America alongside the PGA Tour announced that the May 14-17 event to be held at TPC Harding Park will be held off until later in the year and the US Open, scheduled for June 18-21, will remain on these dates for now.
The PGA Tour has also increased the number of other tour tournaments they have cancelled with four additional events: RBC Heritage (April 13-19); Zurich Classic of New Orleans (April 20-26); Wells Fargo Championship (April 27-May 3); and AT&T Byron Nelson (May 4-10) all cancelled.
“The health and safety of everyone associated with the PGA TOUR and the global community is and will continue to be our No. 1 priority as we navigate the ongoing health crisis related to the Coronavirus Pandemic,” the PGA Tour statement said.
“As we receive more clarity in the coming weeks, the TOUR will be working with our tournament organizations and title sponsors, in collaboration with golf’s governing bodies, to build a PGA TOUR schedule for 2020 that ensures the health and safety for all associated with our sport and a meaningful conclusion to the season.
“We will provide further updates when those plans come into focus.”
