PGA Tour returns
The PGA Tour returns in dramatic fashion. Daniel Berger won the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in a playoff with Collin Morikawa. The event was the Tour’s first since the Players Championship was canceled in mid-March.
Patron precautions
The Memorial Tournament, the first event on the Tour’s revised schedule to allow fans, announced it sold out of its badge options for the July 16-19 tournament. Attendance is limited to 20 percent of its usual capacity and patrons must wear masks due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Other precautions to which patrons will be subject can be found on our website.
