PGA of America Championship to go ahead without fans

The PGA Championship will go ahead as scheduled in August but without spectators, officials confirmed on Monday. The PGA of America said in a statement the first golf major of 2020 will take place at San Francisco’s Harding Park from August 6-9. The tournament had been rescheduled to its August date after being postponed from its original slot in May because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision to bar spectators from the event was taken out of consideration for “the health and well-being of all involved,” the PGA said.
