It’s certainly not an ironclad indication that the event will go off without a hitch, but there’s good news for those hoping to catch the PGA Championship on the West Coast this year.
TPC Harding Park, the scheduled site of the event, announced on Saturday that it will reopen for golf on Monday.
On March 16, a “shelter-in-place” order was announced for six Bay Area counties, directing residents to say inside and away from others.
Earlier this week, those counties announced an extension of the regional order, but there were some modifications, with one being the ability for golf courses to open to the public under new guidelines.
TPC Harding Park announced on Twitter that it will re-open.
Harding Park was selected in 2014 to host this year’s PGA Championship. If it loses the event, the soonest it would likely return is 2025, as the next four PGA Championship sites, starting in 2021, have been selected. Locations for ’26, ’27, ’28, and ’29 have also already been selected.
